MADISON - Gov. Tony Evers joined local and state economic leaders in Green Bay Wednesday to announce that he will direct $130 million in federal funding toward workforce development programs.
The funds, which come from the state s American Rescue Plan Act allocation, will be spread across three programs that will to help regions find solutions to workforce challenges and help unemployed or underemployed workers find job opportunities.
The Democratic governor said there is no one-size-fits all-solution to workforce challenges. I ve heard from many Wisconsin business owners, employers, out-of-work job seekers that while employment in Wisconsin continues to grow, our economy is facing obviously a workforce shortage. A shortage that existed well before I became governor, but has been made worse obviously by this pandemic, Evers said.
