Governor Evers’ Council on Workforce Investment held a meeting in Janesville Monday afternoon at the Rock County Job Center.

CWI Chairman Mark Tyler said he’s impressed with how quickly the Rock County area has deployed some of the grant funding from Evers, noting that grant money was able to get out within 30 to 60 days to help people experiencing barriers entering the workforce.

Department of Workforce Development Secretary Amy Pechacek says they heard about the success of Governor Evers’ Workforce Solutions Initiatives during the meeting, which help people get back into the workforce post pandemic.

CWI members were also able to see workforce partnerships in action as they got to tour the Rock County Job Center.
