Milwaukee, WI. January 8, 2016 – For the second year, YPWeek recognizes the Wisconsin companies that make it a priority to retain and engage their young talent through a dynamic workplace and today announces a call for young professionals to submit their workplace for the 2016 Bubbler Awards.

YPWeek, founded in 2012 by NEWaukee, is a weeklong platform of events focusing on discovery, adventure and meaningful conversations about the issues that matter to young professionals in the area. The process of the Bubbler Awards encourages young professionals living and working in Wisconsin to have a united voice and show their support of making this state a destination for Millennials.

“We now know that companies across the state are realizing the demand to evolve their work places to fit the needs of the young professional workforce,” says Angela Damiani, president of NEWaukee. “We’re excited to be able to show that Wisconsin companies are taking the charge on this front and creating an environment that draws young professionals to work and live in this state.”

Nominations for the Bubbler Awards will be accepted through February 26, 2016. The following criteria will be taken into consideration by a juried panel that will evaluate what Millennials look for in an ideal workplace: competitive salary and benefits, opportunity for advancement, work-life balance and employee engagement. 2016’s Bubbler Awards winners will be announced on March 11, 2016.

The Bubbler Awards Ceremony will take place in Appleton on Saturday, April 23, 2016 as the launch of the fifth annual YPWeek, hosted April 23 – 30, 2016.
