News, Workforce
Gov. Tony Evers, together with the Wisconsin Department of Workforce (DWD), today announced $1 million in grants to three nonprofit groups through the Teacher Training and Recruitment Grant Program, which will support efforts to train and recruit teachers where shortages are most prevalent in Wisconsin.
“As a former educator, I know our teachers and educators work every day to go above and beyond for our kids, but the fact of the matter is that we need more of them and we have work to do to recruit, train, and retain the strong education workforce our kids deserve,” said Gov. Evers. “This grant program will help bolster our education workforce, provide training for over 230 teachers, and ensure our schools, , our kids, and our communities have the support they need to do what’s best for our kids and keep class sizes small.”
