of that sentence states: “will not accept any wagers that would result in the
total wager amount reflecting odds greater than 299:1.” We have two

points. First, the wording of this clause suggests that the amount of a wager
can somehow change the odds of the bet. It’s not clear to us how that could
happen. Should the clause read something like: “will not accepts wagers
where the odds are greater than 299:1”? Second, is it the Tribe’s intent to
limit the maximum odds to 299:1? It seems to us that there could be some
forms of sports wagers where the odds are greater than 299:1. For example,
the odds of the Detroit Lions winning the Super Bowl, etc. We made this
change.
Article VIII – The opening section of the Football rules lists categories of
wagers that the Sportsbook will not accept. At one point we discussed
making it clear that the Sportsbook will not accept wagers relating to player
injuries. Can you add this prohibition to that section? Added in II.D.
Article XVIII – This section addresses how ties affect parlay bets, but appears
to only address instances in which there is just one tie. Can you revise this
section to clarify how multiple ties will be dealt with? Added in XIX, A.5.
and B.
Section XXI.C – The wording of this section is a bit confusing to us. We think
it might be clearer to say: “Any athlete, coach, referee, or player in any
sports event governed by that person’s sport’s governing body.” Updated.
Article XXII – We request that this article be revised to provide a process for
resolution of patron disputes that is similar to what is in place for all other
Class III gaming areas, including providing contact information for the Oneida
Gaming Commission if a patron is unsatisfied with the resolution of a dispute
offered by management. Added states’ recommendation.

The following amendment as requested by gaming management is also reflected:

structure as there is not parlay table to reference as a true odds format is being

Project: "Stroke Prevention in the Wisconsin Native American Population”

The "Stroke Prevention in the Wisconsin Native American Population” is a partnership
between the Oneida Comprehensive Health Division (OCHD) and the University of
Wisconsin-Madison Stroke Team (UWMST). The team participated in two health fairs at
Oneida Just Move It events prior to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, and provided
educational materials at the 2020 Oneida Family Night -prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
To date, the OCHD-UWMST team has examined and intensively counselled 53
participants at high risk for stroke to date and are planning to see additional participants
monthly.
An educational website was created to share information with the entire tribe about stroke
risk factors, how to assess individual risk factors and how to reduce risk factors for stroke.
The team has started the study to determine what risk factors are most prevalent in Native
Americans, examine biomarkers associated with stroke risk factors in Native Americans,
and examine how Health Wellness Coaches may help individuals reduce their risk for
stroke. Participants enrolled in the study see a physician to review their health history
and risk factors for stroke, participate in a cognition test, have an ultrasound performed
imaging the carotid arteries (arteries in the neck), have a blood draw and see a health
wellness coach.
In addition to these study activities, the project works closely with the University of
Wisconsin-Madison, Native American Center for Health Professions (NACHP), to offer
opportunities to Native American medical students to work on this project. To date, the
project has supported experiences for 5 Native American Medical students. Two of these
students were Shapiro Scholars supported by the UW School of Medicine and Public
Health. The project hopes to support 3 additional Shapiro Scholars in the Summer of
2022. Also, medical students are offered the opportunity to travel with the research team
and perform study activities throughout the year. Recently, we have had two NACHP
medical students travel with us.
Furthermore, we are planning to submit Hannah Cress’ Shapiro work as consideration for
an abstract to the AAIP (Association of American Indian Physicians Conference) meeting
this Spring.

Updates for Oneida Business Committee for Projects approved by BC
related to
Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementia (ADRD)
1) Oneida Alzheimer’s Disease Community Advisory Board
 A Statement of Effect was requested from BC at an April 2019 meeting, asking for support for
this community‐based activity.

Overview: The Wisconsin Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center’s (ADRC) Inclusion of Under‐
Represented Groups (IURG) Core seeks to ensure that all groups benefit from science
addressing Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD). Following principles of
community engaged research, the Center sought to partner with minoritized communities to
address ADRD. Specifically, the Center’s IURG core: 1) established and supports an Alzheimer’s
disease Community Advisory Board in the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin, and 2) solicited
feedback on what the community needed in order to respond to ADRD in their communities.
Activities: Oneida Alzheimer’s CAB meets monthly. During the pandemic, we have been
meeting through an online meeting platform.
Funding Status: The IURG Core for the Wisconsin ADRC and affiliated research project support
stipends for CAB members. This funding is secure through 4/1/2024, and is likely to be renewed
at the end of that period.
2) Indigenous Cultural Understanding of the Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementia
Research and Engagement (ICARE) – Research Project


Oneida Business Committee approved April 2019 (while grant was being prepared)

Overview: The Indigenous Cultural Understandings of Alzheimer’s Disease and Related
Dementia – Research and Engagement (ICARE) is a research project funded by the National
Institutes of Health. This research is being conducted as a collaboration between the Memory
Keepers Medical Discovery Team, University of Minnesota – Duluth, the Wisconsin Alzheimer’s
Disease Research Center, and First Nation community members in Manitoulin Island, Ontario.
The goal of the research is to improve the lives of American Indian/First Nations persons with
Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias by investigating the impact of the disease on
patients, families and communities.
Activities: Finished collecting data for our first set of Aims. Participants included traditional
knowledge keepers, professional/paid caregivers, and health care providers. Specific
community summaries and reports are in preparation. In the next round of data collection,
community‐based researchers will be interviewing individuals with healthy cognition and
individuals with cognitive impairment and their caregivers.
Funding Status: Original project funded for 2 years (2019‐2021). Funding was renewed. New
project end date is 2/28/2026.

3) Addressing Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias Disparities: The American Indigenous
Cognitive Assessment (AMICA) – Research Project


Oneida Business Committee Approved October 28, 2020 (while grant was being prepared)

Overview: The American Indigenous Cognitive Assessment (AMICA) Project tackles the
significant dementia disparity that exists for Indigenous populations by determining the
scalability of recently developed, culturally tailored, brief cognitive tests for dementia, for use
in 3 diverse American Indian (AI) populations. Compared to the majority population, Indigenous
rates of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) are approximately 3 times higher.
This research will adapt and validate a battery of complementary Indigenous cognitive
assessment tools developed in Canada and Australia for use among AI populations in the United
States.
Activities: NONE
Funding Status: Proposal reviewed and score is in the fundable range. Likely start date in
summer of 2022.
4) Addressing Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias Disparities: Indigenous Adaptation of
the Mild Behavioral Impairment Checklist (IAMBIC)
 Oneida Business Committee Approved October 27, 2021 (while grant was being prepared)
Overview: The purpose of this project is to address the need for a valid and culturally sensitive
clinical tool to identify Mild Behavioral Impairment (MBI) related to Alzheimer’s disease and
related dementias (ADRD) in Indigenous older adults. It is recognized that Indigenous
populations have higher rates of ADRD, that neuropsychiatric symptoms are highly culturally
bound, and that MBI is an important predictor of dementia onset; yet, there is no valid and
culturally safe clinical tool to identify MBI related to ADRD in Indigenous older adults. This
adaptation and validation will permit Indigenous communities to identify persons with MBI
earlier, allowing for improved diagnosis and treatment of people with dementia; stronger and
more meaningful caregiver support; more effective development and distribution of resources;
and informed long‐term policy planning.
Activities: NONE
Funding Status: Proposal submitted in November 2021. Scheduled to be reviewed in March of
2022.
5) Oneida Helping Oneida Family Caregiving Study (OHO)
PI: Mary F. Wyman, PhD (mentor: Carey Gleason, PhD)


Oneida Business Committee Approved via Resolution #10‐28‐20‐C October 28, 2020

Overview: The purpose of this project is to learn about factors influencing the use of
community‐based services by Oneida family caregivers of elders with memory loss. Family

caregiving of elders is more common in indigenous communities compared to other groups, but
utilization of available services (e.g., caregiver education and support, financial help, respite) is
low. The study first entailed a community‐based survey of Oneida Nation of Wisconsin
community members on family caregiving and service awareness and use (N=507), followed by
qualitative interviews with community members living on/near the Oneida reservation who are
caregivers of elders with memory loss (N=10). The research questions were developed with
Oneida community partners (e.g., Aging & Disability Services; Dementia Care Specialist) and
tribal members were employed for the project. Findings will be provided to the Oneida
community to help guide policy. Research presentations and publications will involve tribal
partners in authorship.
Activities: Data collection has concluded. Data analysis is underway.
Funding Status: Funded in July 2020 by the University of Wisconsin‐Madison ICTR/Collaborative
Center for Health Equity (CCHE), under the Advancing Health Equity and Diversity (AHEAD)
initiative. Funding concluded December 2021.

Sam Rikkers and Tia Torhorst from genera8tor Skills Accelerator on an US Dept. of Commerce EDA
Grant and are asking tribes for a letter of support for this application.
Our office did reach out to CIO, Dr. Shane Archiquette regarding this request and below is his
response:
In reviewing the Gener8tor Skills Accelerator program and the Good Jobs Challenge Grant,
the programs would benefit the Oneida Nation significantly in being able to find skilled
personnel to take on the open positions that are required for MIS/DTS department as well as
future positions that require Digital skills and capabilities to function in other departments.
The findings within the Employer outreach email – Gener8tor indicate the ‘Digital Divide’
which consists of identifying the foundational skills required to function within increasing
number of open positions, this is compounded by the high number of individuals resigning
from technology focused jobs to pursue different careers which leaves Oneida with more
positions going unfilled.
The MIS/DTS department would fully support working with this program and helping to
facilitate the grant request to assist in finding people that will be upskilled, reskilled, or
achieve a new skill to be functionally capable of working with Digital Technologies.
For the Letter of Support – EDA Good Jobs Challenge, it is estimated that we have about 2540 open positions that could be filled by someone in the Skills Accelerator and we could
estimate hiring 250 to 500+ roles between 2022 and 2027 for MIS/DTS as well as other
departments which will have increasing Digital Technology adoption and skills requirements
by 2027.

Alejandra Castillo, Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Economic Development
U.S. Economic Development Administration
1401 Constitution Avenue, NW
Suite 71014
Washington, DC 20230
Dear Assistant Secretary Castillo:
On behalf of the Oneida Nation, I am writing in full support of the State of Wisconsin’s
application for the U.S. Economic Development Administration’s 2021 Good Jobs Challenge
grant. Our Nation is a Title IV and V Self-Governance Tribe located in Northeast Wisconsin and
serves a tribal population of approximately 17,308 members. The Oneida Nation has a $750
million annual economic impact in our region and is one of the largest employers in Brown and
Outagamie Counties, with approximately half of our employee base being non-Oneida
employees from neighboring communities. We plan to support every component to help
leverage this grant for not only our unique workforce needs but also to create a more resilient
and diversified economic recovery.
Our Tribe currently has approximately 25-40 open positions that could be filled by someone
recently skilled in the digital and workplace skills which the Skills Accelerator could train on in
the next five years. While we don’t know exactly what jobs we will need five years from now,
we know that the foundational digital roles in securing and supporting our customers and
clients, advancing and protecting our IT infrastructure, and analyzing our work will only grow.
We could estimate hiring 250 to 500+ digital roles over the course of the grant - late 2022 to
early 2027 - and hope to hire as many Skills Accelerator graduates as possible.
Two critical agencies that drive the economic prosperity of our state - Wisconsin Economic
Development Corporation and Department of Workforce Development - are coming together in
a collaborative effort to support innovation in human capital. Wisconsin has the lowest
unemployment rate in the state’s 174-year history which comes amid a worker shortage
stemming from the pandemic that continues to impact businesses across the state. Employers
throughout our region are struggling to find candidates to fill open positions while navigating
the “great reshuffle” along with the shifting expectations of the workforce.

The state gained 5,300 private-sector jobs in December 2021. In addition, the number of people
counted as unemployed in Wisconsin - 86,200 - also hit a record low. When speaking with a
crowd in Milwaukee, Charles Evans, president and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago,
commented on jobs and unemployment when asked his predictions for the upcoming year. He
reflected that the low unemployment rate might be reflective of people not coming enough
into the labor force and that there are opportunities for people who want jobs.
Furthermore, digital skills are needed in virtually every role in every organization, yet there are
limited programs working towards reducing the digital workplace chasm that was growing
before the pandemic and has exponentially increased in the last two years. According to the
“State’s Digital Equity Scorecards”, a publication issued by the National Digital Inclusion
Association, in partnership with National Skills Coalition and Microsoft, nearly 33% of our
unemployed individuals in Wisconsin lacked the foundational digital skills to compete for over
138,000 open positions (July 2021). Closing this skills gap is an important aspect of the
continued economic growth in our region and our state and this grant serves as an integral role
in facilitating an equitable training platform to help more of our residents secure good jobs
today and be digitally prepared for careers of tomorrow.
The three component parts of this proposal addresses several workforce issues in our region,
including not having enough workers for roles, equity gaps in accessing the basic digital tools
needed for employment and living a full life, and tools for how to navigate changes in the
workplace exacerbated by the pandemic.
We are excited to watch our region’s employers and residents innovate and engage in how our
workplaces and communities will grow in the future. We are ready to participate in discussions
about supporting our industry and workers to push Wisconsin to the forefront of disrupting and
innovating in how our talent and our economy grow with these changes.
We look forward to working with the State to support the activities laid forth in this proposal
and watch our region’s employers and residents innovate and engage in how our workplaces
and communities will grow in the future.
On behalf of the Oneida Nation, I ask for your full support of the State of Wisconsin’s
application.

Respectfully,

Tehassi tasi Hill, Chairman
Oneida Nation

The State of Wisconsin is applying for a federal grant through the Department of
Commerce called the Good Jobs Challenge. We are seeking a letter of support from your
organization by February 4.
The grant will have three components valuable to businesses across the state:
●

●

●

Skills Accelerator - rapid workforce training program for under and unemployed residents
(with a focus on historically marginalized) in the state that helps place them in a job. Just
this morning the Green Bay Gazette published an article about this work, see
attachment.
Employer Innovation and Learning Network - a peer-to-peer affinity network for employer
partner’s key leaders like Chief Information Officers (CIOs) and Chief Human Resource
Officers (CHROs).
Future of Work Accelerator - creation of recruitment and worker retention tools for
employers and workers for next generation work

Why?
Wisconsin needs to be a national leader for job quality and matching workers to the highest
demand jobs to drive innovation and economic growth. We want to ensure Wisconsinites and
our employers are ready for the explosive growth in digital skills that workplaces require for
successful economic growth now and in the future. The number of skills required for a single job
is increasing by 10% year over year, and over 30% of the skills needed three years ago will
soon be irrelevant, according to Gartner TalentNeuron.
Digital skills are needed in virtually every role in every organization, yet there are limited
programs working towards reducing the digital workplace chasm that was growing before the
pandemic and has exponentially increased in the last two years. According to the “State’s Digital
Equity Scorecards”, a publication issued by the National Digital Inclusion Association, in
partnership with National Skills Coalition and Microsoft, nearly 33% of our unemployed
individuals in Wisconsin lacked the foundational digital skills to compete for over 138,000 open
positions (July, 2021). Closing this skills gap is an important aspect of the continued economic
growth in our region and our state and this grant serves as an integral role in facilitating an
equitable training platform to help more of our residents secure good jobs today and be digitally
prepared for careers of tomorrow.
What is in it for my business?
You will be at the table to help craft the training strategy. You will have first access to skills
accelerator graduates to fill your talent pipeline. The graduates will take a digital skills training
program in addition to workforce readiness programming such as skills for inclusive
conversations, how to manage feeling overwhelmed and critical thinking. Digital skills curriculum
will be based on regional and state-wide employer needs and tailored for entry-level roles such
as sales, customer service, data analyst, IT help desk and cybersecurity. While the type of roles
will vary, they will all be grounded digital skills. Most roles will funnel into pre-apprenticeship or
apprenticeship pathways.

gener8tor Skills Accelerator
gener8tor Skills Accelerator is a virtual, on-demand program for people looking for jobs in
high-demand roles in their communities founded in partnership with Microsoft and New North in
late summer 2020 in response to unprecedented pandemic related unemployment. The
program has scaled to 14 communities across the county - both urban and rural - to continue
the learnings in how to best serve communities.
The Skills Accelerator graduates build their confidence alongside their technical knowledge in
small cohort-based groups where they receive one-on-one support to achieve their goals.
Participants earn LinkedIn Learning certificates and, in certain programs, have access to
reduced fee exams to secure industry-recognized certifications. All learning is self-paced to fit
any schedule and takes approximately 15 hours per week.
Intended to support under and unemployed individuals gain meaningful employment in a variety
of sectors (egs technology, insurance, finance and professional services) in roles in professional
technical and administrative services. gener8tor and our graduates share a goal - graduates
getting good jobs iin diverse, professional workplaces where the skills they gain from the
accelerator can be applied. Roles might be working in their community or in a remote role
working for a company anywhere in the country.
This skills accelerator has advanced individuals' wages through promotion or by securing a new
job in both “blue” and “white collar” jobs. Approximately one-third of the graduates share their
new salary with us, on average it is $47,382.
How does the Skills Accelerator work?
gener8tor’s recruiting team work on all levels of a community from grasstop to grassroot to
share the opportunity. We provide all tools necessary for organizations and individuals to be the
best ambassador they can be for the program - social-ready graphics, template email language,
flyers for places with in-person visibility. Additionally, by leveraging gener8tor’s expertise in
digital customer acquisition, we also find individuals who are not engaged with the traditional
workforce safety net system. We have found our most successful graduates have given up on
“the system” helping them for a variety of reasons.
After filling out a simple on-line application, gener8tor staff reach out to the applicant to talk
more about the program. After this discussion to determine shared alignment about the program
and applicant’s goals and agreement on the commitment required for applicants we accept
program participants. Under and unemployed and those who identify as historically marginalized

(egs. women, people of color, formerly incarcerated/justice involved) are prioritized with the goal
of having a cohort of 35-40 individuals.
The programs last between 5-10 weeks, driven by the technical curriculum’s length. Historically,
the curriculum has been from Microsoft’s Global Skilling Initiative’s ten most in-demand careers
from data on LinkedIn job postings (see below for full list). Wisconsin’s Good Jobs Challenge’s
application will utilize these ten career paths but also other LinkedIn curriculum to expand
options. This will allow for regional needs but also as job and skill demands change. An
example of a program outside of the ten but very in demand is cybersecurity training. The ten
technical learning paths draw from Microsoft, LinkedIn and GitHub. Additional programming,
also curated from LinkedIn, rounds out participants' critical employability, communication and
interpersonal skills. Technical curriculum will be selected in partnership with community leaders
and ambassadors, taking into consideration transferable skills and goals of participants and
local economic hiring needs. Data from multiple sources will be used to guide the curriculum
discussion. Frequently used curriculums to date are Customer Service and Sales, IT Help Desk,
Network Administrator and Project Management.
A distinguishing component of this Skills Accelerator is that the program is self-paced and fully
virtual. This allows participants who have family caregiving responsibilities or are employed with
unpredictable schedules to continue working while completing the program. If access to a
computer or internet is an issue we work with individuals on a case-by-case basis to help
determine a solution. That may be providing a refurbished computer and hotspot or working with
a local partner that has a computer lab if, for example, focused and quiet time in their house is
the issue vs. a computer.
Another unique component of gener8tor Upskilling is how community is built into the program.
Participants learn alongside each other and keep each other accountable. All participants are
assigned a “Career Coach” and a “Buddy or Pod.” The “Career Coach” is a gener8tor employee
who can assist with answering any questions, helping with needs that may arise such as trouble
completing a course and emotionally supporting the participants in ways they may not be able to
find with friends or family members. Program “Buddies” are fellow cohort members. They
exchange contact information for the purposes of holding each other accountable for success
and providing peer support as needed.
Concurrently with the digital skills learning, participants engage in job coaching services crafting or refreshing their resume, LinkedIn profile and cover letters and participating in mock
interviews.
Additionally, weekly “Lunch & Learns” allow participants to log into a live Microsoft Teams
meeting to learn from and engage with workforce and technical experts. Topics include things
participants may need for their job search like Optimized Job Search Strategies, How to Find a
Job on LinkedIn, Interview Best Practices or how to enhance their technical learning to
complement their LinkedIn learnings.

The last week of programming, participants are invited to interview with companies hiring for
roles they have just gained digital skills in. Data shows that 40% of job seekers are hired at
companies where they have a connection. gener8tor provides that network and connection. At
gener8tor, our goal is to be as responsive as possible to the local community’s needs. In this
program that is both for employer needs but career interests and aspirations for the individual.
Employer Hiring Network
Our entrepreneurial, corporate and venture capital work in other parts of our company instantly
created an opportunity to grow our hiring network through the over 3,357 corporate connections
and 788 alumni companies we regularly work with. Consequently, many of these corporations
and companies are actively engaged with and hiring gener8tor Skilling Accelerator graduates.
Our dedicated employer network that we regularly work with for their hiring needs is currently
368 companies across a variety of industries.
Locally, we have been engaging with Wisconsin employers since the NE WI pilot started in
2020. There will be additional and intensive employer outreach in advance of the grant
application for committed engagement with the graduates. Employer engagement will be a
priority through the entire life of the program as sustainability includes employer support in the
future but also because success is dependent on their engagement in our success.
In addition, gener8tor is a curated partner to supply candidates to Microsoft Career Connect.
Career Connect is a service that will help place job seekers skilled by Microsoft’s nonprofit and
learning partners in tech-enabled jobs in the Microsoft supplier and partner network.
An example of the benefits of the gener8tor network can be found in our relationship with our
startups. One of those, EatStreet, the Madison-based online meal delivery service company,
participated in the gener8tor flagship accelerator in 2012. Since then and with the support of
gener8tor, EatStreet grew exponentially. They now have over 3,000 full-time employees and are
actively hiring. EatStreet has been dedicated to employing gener8tor Skilling Accelerator
graduates by providing entry-level positions with the opportunity for upward mobility within the
company.
Rachelle Katchenago, a graduate of the gener8tor Skilling Accelerator and NE WI resident,
pursued the customer service and sales learning path. Within several months of graduating from
gener8tor Skills Accelerator Rachelle was hired for a full-time position at EatStreet. Rachelle
has shared her elation over making more money than she ever has before and how without the
Skills Accelerator she never would have gotten this job. In the customer service department at
EatStreet, Rachelle has learned new skills like using Salesforce software. She now has taken
on new duties as an “implementation specialist,” helping restaurants to adopt and use the
company’s online service. At EatStreet, workers move from customer service up to sales or data
analyst roles, presenting a clear path for wage growth. Rachelle’s exceptional story was
highlighted in Good Morning America, in the New York Times and by Microsoft in one of their
“Features” articles.

Goals
The goal is to have 70% of our graduates hired or promoted into full-time, quality employment
within three months. Our definition of full-time, quality employment means that an individual
works somewhere between 32-40 hours per week, 50 weeks a year and receives benefits such
as healthcare and makes a wage aligned with regional/national averages.
Graduates are supported in their job search until they request not to be. If a graduate is placed
we continue to check in every six months in case circumstances change and they need to
re-engage our support or if they would like to navigate additional skilling.
gener8tor currently also surveys enrolling participants to determine how they view their current
ability to secure employment as a baseline. After graduation, we ask the same questions to
assess how differently they feel prepared. We also include Net Promoter Score (NPS) survey
questions to assess metrics about if they would recommend the program to a friend or family
member - a gold standard of customer satisfaction.
gener8tor staffing model
Each regional program has three people hired dedicated to that program. The Program
Manager and two career coaches will support 100 graduates through the program annually.
Additionally, overarching staff support each region for recruiting individuals and recruiting and
supporting hiring partners.
The Wisconsin Good Jobs Challenge will also layer additional support to ensure our state-wide
strategy, data collection and wraparound service support for the skillers.
Community-driven
gener8tor’s mission is to help communities invest in their best and brightest.
We work closely with the community to assess what jobs and skills workers are looking to gain
while also learning from employers about the skills and qualifications they would like to see
when hiring new employees. The flexibility of the Accelerator allows us to focus our curriculum
to best fit the needs of the community.
