MADISON, Wis. (CBS 58) -- Gov. Tony Evers, together with the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development (DWD), on Monday, Nov. 15, announced $20 million in grant awards to 11 regions in Wisconsin to help more than 2,300 Wisconsinites as part of the much-anticipated Worker Advancement Initiative.
According to a news release, the initiative -- announced earlier this year and funded by the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) -- will serve Wisconsinites whose previous employment has not come back since the pandemic, as well as those who were not attached to or were not successful in the labor market prior to the pandemic, by offering subsidized employment and skills training opportunities with local employers.
