GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Governor Tony Evers is in Green Bay, urging continued investments to support the state’s workforce.
It’s part of the governor’s statewide tour which also includes a stop in Eau Claire Monday.
While at Green Bay West High School, Gov. Evers and Secretary Pechacek learned more about their Bay Link Manufacturing program, which, for 10 years now has been offering students the opportunity to gain experience in a manufacturing lab equipped to teach students about the business of manufacturing through sales, marketing, accounting, production planning, and customer service.
Students who participate in the Bay Link Manufacturing program have the opportunity to earn college credits and their Computer Numerical Control certification.
“Students that are in programs like this come out with great skills,” said Gov. Evers. “I think programs we see now are significantly different in the technical areas than they were when I was a high school principal or the superintendent of schools.”
Last week, the state’s Republican-controlled budget committee voted to kill more than 600 budget proposals put forward by Evers, including restoring bargaining rights, repeal right to work, worker misclassification and project labor agreements.
