"Wisconsin was first in the nation to offer a registered apprenticeship program in 1911, and the program continues to be a proven workforce solution that benefits both employers and apprentices," DWD Secretary-designee Amy Pechacek said. "This grant will bolster the program's historic growth and help expand pathways to careers with family-sustaining wages."
