Wisconsin employers can apply for grants to help address the demand for skilled workers

The Department of Workforce Development is inviting employers to apply for grants to help address the demand for skilled workers.

The Industry Sectors Worker Training Grant program will reimburse employers for the costs of customized occupational training for unemployed, underemployed, and also for existing workers.

Grants ranging from $5,000 to $400,000 are available to cover training costs that will help workers qualify for full-time positions, higher level roles, or increased wages.

“Those worker training grants invest in Wisconsin’s workforce and economy by advancing targeted, industry-led projects that support our citizens,” according to Amy Pechacek, Secretary, Department of Workforce Development, “Wisconsin Fast Forward provides employers a training boost that fills positions while offering workers the skills they need to succeed.”

Employers of all types and sizes across Wisconsin are eligible to apply.  The deadline to apply is Tuesday, March 15, 2025.
