Governor Tony Evers and the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development (DWD) have announced that over $1.5 million has been awarded through Fast Forward grants to help train Wisconsinites in in-demand jobs.
In Sheboygan County, Aurora Health Care received over $325,000 to train 60 workers as forensic nurse examiners through a partnership with the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
Additionally, Nemak USA Inc. in Sheboygan was awarded $400,000 to train 70 current workers in mechanical power systems, Computer Numeric Control, fluid power, robotics, and other skills for high-pressure die casting jobs via their partnership with Advanced Technology Services Inc.
