The Department of Workforce Development (DWD) was recently awarded $806,379 to expand Wisconsin Apprenticeship. Wisconsin was one of 45 states to receive funding from the U.S. Department of Labor's $65 million investment in apprenticeship programs.
"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."
