The Forest County Potawatomi Community (FCPC) is a Native Sovereign Nation located in Crandon, Wis., with operations based in Crandon and Milwaukee. FCPC is the largest employer in Forest County and offers employment and career opportunities in a wide and varied field of sectors that include: Healthcare, Education, Social Services, IT, Finance, Human Resources, Legal, and Administrative Support Services.
While FCPC provides its employees family-sustaining wages and above average benefit packages, an added plus is the rich and colorful Native American culture that’s naturally woven into the fabric that makes this community so special.
Although we cannot say this about the fine, big city of Milwaukee, life in Forest County (and the Northwoods as a whole) is a bit slower, with a simpler approach to living the dream. That’s because we live IN the dream. This is rural at its best: rivers, lakes, fresh air, wildlife, forests, and four full seasons – not to mention the fun activities that pair so well with all those things! We work hard; we play hard.
It should also be noted that some young people graduate high school and leave the Forest County nest, and for many reasons: college, career, adventure. Yet, many of them return when they begin a family. The reason is simple: This is a great place to raise kids. This is a small community with a big heart and down-to-earth values.
It must be said that the arrival of Indian Gaming and forward thinking were the main catalysts in creating those ‘family-sustaining wages and above average benefit packages’ that now exist and that allow young people to return. This was not always the case.
Having said all that, there’s just one question to ask: What are you waiting for? Take a breath of fresh air, dip your toes in the water, grab a sled and head for the hill, or take in the scenery on foot, on skis, in the car. If FCPC can provide the job, you can provide the fun!
Now is the time to take the next step toward your future.
