DWD has announced its upcoming “Winning with Wisconsin’s Workforce” forums, where attendees can hear from local workforce development leaders and recipients of technical education and training grants as they share strategies to apply for and implement grant-funded workforce technology and training programs.
The statewide series of quarterly events highlights workforce development initiatives, available funding, resources to aid competitiveness, and local successes with worker recruitment and retention.
The year’s final round of events will take place in the following New North communities:
- Bay Area Region: Nov. 2, Marinette
- Fox Valley Region: Dec. 7, Appleton
The free forums are organized by DWD, Wisconsin’s regional Workforce Development Boards, and local partners. Employers, educators, community leaders, nonprofit employment service providers, and other stakeholders are encouraged to attend.
The forums are free to attend. They will focus on technology and training, highlighting Wisconsin Fast Forward-funded workforce programming, grant application processes and timelines, local recipient success stories, and other key resources.
Wisconsin’s 11 workforce development areas feature integrated business service teams that work with employers to find solutions when it comes to recruiting qualified workers, retaining well-trained employees, and accessing workforce planning resources.
Featured speakers at the “Winning with Wisconsin’s Workforce” events will include leaders of the local workforce development boards, DWD and administration officials, top local employers, and workforce resource experts.
