Department of Workforce Development Telephone: (608) 266-3131 CONTACT: DWD Communications ICYMI: Gov. Evers Announces Wisconsin Won $7. 3 Million to Fund New Workforce Training Grants for Advanced Manufacturing and AI Sectors Federal Funds will Address Workforce Gaps in High-Growth Industries MADISON – In his Feb.
17 State of the State address, Gov. Tony Evers announced the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development (DWD) has received $7. 3 million in competitive grant funding to build workforce skills in advanced manufacturing and artificial intelligence (AI). Wisconsin is one of 14 states awarded an Industry-Driven Skills Training Fund grant from the U.S. Department of Labor to prepare workers for jobs in high-demand and emerging industries.
DWD will launch the Wisconsin Training for Resilient Advanced Industry Needs (WisTRAIN) employer grant program with the funds to deliver employer-driven, occupational skills training focused on advanced manufacturing and AI.
The project builds on the success of Gov. Tony Evers' Workforce Solutions Initiative in supporting local and regional workforce training programs and aligns with recommendations by the Governor's Task Force on Workforce and Artificial Intelligence .
WisTRAIN will fund worker training programs, including apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship programs, that equip Wisconsin’s workforce with the skills necessary to meet rapidly evolving needs. WisTRAIN grant applications are anticipated to open in May 2026 for eligible employers statewide that engage in advanced manufacturing and AI applications such as data analytics, cybersecurity, predictive maintenance, and robotics.
"We're excited for the opportunity that this grant brings to Wisconsin employers, offering resources to train workers for the in-demand, high-technology jobs that are already reshaping how we work," said DWD Secretary Amy Pechacek.
"WisTRAIN grants will boost our state's economic competitiveness and help ensure all Wisconsinites, including workers, employers, and job seekers, benefit from a dynamic, growing economy that increases efficiency with the adoption of new technology.
” Wisconsin's future is being reshaped by advances in AI and advanced manufacturing technologies, which represent fields that align with the fastest growing occupational groups in the state – computer and mathematical, and architecture and engineering.
In addition, manufacturing remains one of the state's largest employment sectors, representing nearly one in six jobs and contributing more than $65 billion to the annual national Gross Domestic Product (GDP). While projections signal rapid growth in technical fields, employer surveys highlight skill shortages among incumbent workers and job seekers.
Thanks to this investment, WisTRAIN will provide coordinated training to meet employer-identified needs and help Wisconsin's workers advance to the next level in the digital age. This project is being supported, in whole or in part, by the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) WIOA Dislocated Worker National Reserve Demonstration Grants Award No. 25A60IN000013-01-00, awarded to DWD by the U.S. Department of Labor.

Read articleFederal appropriators added $15 billion in new Pell Grant funding to the FY 2026 appropriations package on top of the standard appropriation level — a response to a structural shortfall that CBO scored at $5.4 billion in FY 2026 and $11.5 billion in FY 2027. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget projects a cumulative gap of $61 billion to $97 billion through 2035 even after the one-time fix. Meanwhile, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act expanded eligibility to short-term Workforce Pell programs, adding $2 to $6 billion in new costs. The Pell program is the foundation of need-based federal student aid, but the structural mismatch between rising costs and appropriations is a permanent feature now. Here is what that means for institutions, foundations, and state higher-ed agencies.
