Innovation Fund - Project Showcase

It's been just over a year since the first round of funding was released from the WIRED Innovation Fund.

Regional Workforce Alliance

The Regional Workforce Alliance (RWA) is a collaboration of organizations representing workforce development, economic development and education across southeastern Wisconsin. Led by the Milwaukee Area Workforce Investment Board, the Waukesha-Ozaukee-Washington Workforce Development Board and the Southeast Wisconsin Workforce Development Board, the Alliance invests in strategies to build the skilled workforce that Milwaukee-area businesses need to compete in today’s global economy. Many of the initiatives of this group are supported by funds awarded by the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development’s Growing Regional Opportunities in Wisconsin (GROW) grant.

The RWA is leading the implementation of the WIRED grant from the U.S. Department of Labor. The Milwaukee 7, as the region’s economic development force, is also involved in the initiative.

To read about how the RWA is specifically addressing the talent development network needs, please read the Strategic Overview:
