The Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development announced that $1 million in grants is available for the Teacher Training and Recruitment Grant program to train and recruit teachers where shortages are most prevalent in Wisconsin.
The grants, which cover two years of program costs, are available through DWD’s Expanded Wisconsin Fast Forward program. Wisconsin nonprofit organizations can apply for up to $500,000 to recruit, train, and license teachers to meet the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction’s guidelines for serving qualifying school districts.
The WFF program has funded two rounds of awards in 2020 and 2022 that benefited 10 schools’ efforts to train, recruit, and mentor educators.
Under the WFF program, the funds are only available to tax-exempt 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) nonprofit organizations. Applications are due by 3 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 16.
