Gov. Evers praises new workforce development certificate, tours academic labs
8 Mar 2024
Dunn County, Dunn
A new program aimed at supporting workforce development in Wisconsin was praised by Gov. Tony Evers on March 7 when he visited UW-Stout.
Evers learned about a first-of-its-kind collaboration that began last fall between the university and state Department of Workforce Development. The university is offering a three-course certificate program, the Workforce Development Specialist Apprenticeship, for company trainers, with the aim to improve workplace training.
Focused employment and training solutions can lead to new and existing workers building better skills, improving productivity, and, ultimately, staying on the job, which has been a challenge for companies facing worker shortages in a strong Wisconsin economy.
