The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act provided approximately 25.7 million dollars
in Workforce Investment funds to the eleven Workforce Development Boards of Wisconsin. These funds will be utilized to provide employment and training services to youth, adult, and dislocated workers. The Workforce Development Boards in Wisconsin are working very hard to ensure that all ARRA funds are spent in a transparent, efficient, and effective manner.
Each month the Workforce Times newsletter
will provide you with an update of the statewide ARRA Workforce Investment Act data and stories. This first issue reflects the massive amount of work that has been done in getting the Summer Youth program up and running as well as getting services to those who need it most.
