Gov. Evers announced that more than $6.6 million will support apprenticeship, job, and skills training projects across southwestern and central Wisconsin. Projects in 12 counties will make investments to support youth apprenticeships, job training in advanced manufacturing, and scholarships for students pursuing careers in education. The grants are being awarded to Southwest Wisconsin Technical College, Wisconsin Heights School District, and Boys & Girls Club of Dane County.
The first round of Workforce Innovation Grants was announced in December 2021 when the governor announced that 12 regional projects would receive up to $59.5 million in grants. Last summer, Gov. Evers announced a $130 million investment in workforce solutions across the state. The second round of Workforce Innovation Grants brings that total investment to more than $158.5 million.
