Technical Education Equipment Grant

The Wisconsin Fast Forward Grants aim to support workforce development by funding technical education equipment for high school students in advanced manufacturing and construction. This initiative addresses Wisconsin's skilled worker shortage by prioritizing grants for eligible school districts and consortia.
