Program Summary

•$20M of State GPR to build skilled/educated workforce through employer defined training programs and advanced LMIS system

•$15 M dedicated to demand driven workforce training programs – supporting an economic development workforce paradigm

•Program administration and research – Office of Skills Development (OSD)

•Target audience - underemployed, unemployed and incumbent workers (some cohorts could include IHE students or HS grads)

•Labor Market Information System upgrades = SKILLS versus Job titles

Wisconsin Fast Forward Principles

Business collaborations define skill requirements, provide $$ match, define training expectations, coordinate curriculum and training delivery, hire training program graduates and/or raise wages for incumbent workers – should not duplicate or supplant programs – prototype programs that are scalable, replicable, portable

Education and training collaborations evaluate inquiries, create-deliver training programs, build cohorts, consider sustainable programs, modify existing programming, award credentials, etc.

OSD receives/reviews inquiries, evaluates research, formulates grant program announcements, evaluates grant applications, monitors performance, conducts audits, produces reports
