Madison College, UW–Madison, and UW Colleges & UW–Extension, in collaboration with Competitive Wisconsin, Inc. (CWI), a state-wide, non-partisan economic development coalition, will be holding a work force development briefing. You'll learn about workforce development and training initiatives from the Wisconsin Dept. of Workforce Development, Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. and Competitive Wisconsin, Inc.; hear an overview of local workforce issues from Thrive and South Central Workforce Development Board; and have an opportunity to participate in a discussion about workforce challenges and opportunities.
Your input will be used by CWI to inform its upcoming comprehensive Be Bold 2 Workforce Development Study being conducted by ManpowerGroup and McKinsey Global. A similar study and series of discussions two years ago was instrumental in the creation of the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp.
