The funding comes through the Baldwin-backed Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. “Our Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is putting Wisconsin to work updating our roads, bridges, water, and energy infrastructure for the next generation, and we need to ensure workers have the training they need to meet this demand,” said Senator Baldwin. “This investment I was proud to support will help ensure more Wisconsinites get the training they need to compete, connecting more of our neighbors with good-paying jobs in this growing sector.” The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee will receive $5.7 million to develop and promote innovative and high-level energy assessment technologies through workforce teams to help establish pathways to high-quality jobs like Electricians and Energy Auditors, improve manufacturing competitiveness, and reduce industrial carbon emissions. Southwest Wisconsin Technical College will receive $3 million to provide work-based learning to students via formal apprenticeships and course-based energy site assessments, as well as offer upskilling trainings to small- and medium-sized manufacturers on topics ranging from sensors and cybersecurity to energy analytics and heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVAC) controls. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T21:36:13Z |
