The first round of quarterly forums will run from Feb. 14 to March 8, 2023, and continue throughout the year. Topics covered will include apprenticeship, hiring opportunities with veterans and workers with disabilities, funding for customized worker training, efforts to remove workforce barriers, and strategies for boosting workforce participation.
"Our administration has made a historic commitment to workforce development, and in my State of the State address, I announced that we're going to build on that work and our economic momentum by investing in initiatives to retain and attract talented workers and remove barriers to employment in every sector of our state's economy," said Gov. Evers. "Our "Winning with Wisconsin's Workforce' series offers a unique chance to elevate regional success stories, identify helpful resources, and learn more from attendees so we can continue working together to successfully address our state's longstanding workforce challenges."
