Multiple Racine County workforce training programs to receive $700K in grants

Racine County workforce development organizations will be the recipient of $700,000 in Wisconsin Fast Forward funds to assist in worker training.

Racine County Executive Jonathan Delagrave, Racine Mayor Cory Mason and Department of Workforce Development Secretary Ray Allen made the announcement Wednesday.

The Fast Forward grants will support programs that prepare local residents and businesses for the region’s anticipated job growth spurred, in part, by Foxconn Technology Group’s $10 billion investment in the state.
