As part of Workforce Development Month, Francisco Sanchez, President for Waukesha-Ozaukee-Washington Workforce Development Board., and featured speaker Lieutenant Governor Rebecca Kleefisch hosted the official launch of the TIME Program (Training Individuals for Manufacturing Employment), a $4.9 million on-the-job training program.
In 2011 the Waukesha-Ozaukee-Washington Workforce Development Board, in partnership with the Wisconsin Precision Metalworking Council and the Milwaukee 7 Manufacturing Industry Partnership group, received a $4.9 million grant from the U.S. Department of Labor to train individuals for manufacturing employment. This 4-year grant will run through November 2015 and provide on-the-job training for 560 participants.
Through the TIME Program, manufacturing employers are eligible for wage reimbursement during the participant’s on-the-job training period. Since the TIME Program’s launch in January 2012, the Waukesha-Ozaukee-Washington Workforce Development Board has already placed 182 participants with 80 employers!
