Wisconsin Workforce Training Grants Available

 

Wisconsin Workforce Advancement Training (WAT) grants are anticipated to be available for businesses proposing training projects in 2010.

 

The purpose of the State of Wisconsin Workforce Advancement Training Grant is to promote increased investment in the development of incumbent workers, improve Wisconsin business productivity and competitiveness, and augment the state’s economic base by expanding technical college training services to business and industry.  Grants will be awarded to upgrade the skills and productivity of employees of established, for-profit businesses operating in Wisconsin, with the broader objective of supporting regional workforce and economic development efforts.  The training can include any combination of academic, occupational and employability topics or courses.
