A grant of $314,770 will enable Sartori Company to provide training in the cheese industry to over 100 persons.
The Wisconsin Fast Forward Worker Training Grants announced on Thursday will spend $2 million in all to support 10 employers, and new or increased wages for 759 trainees across four high-demand sectors in Wisconsin. Many of the WFF-contracted grant projects are made possible through partnerships with community organizations, local employers, and industry associations. The grants cover training costs for those who are unemployed or underemployed, as well as for incumbent workers. Participants who successfully complete the training program will gain opportunities for employment, higher-level employment, or increased wages.
Sartori’s grant will provide training to 100 unemployed trainees. Training will focus on the cheese manufacturing process, quality training and safety training. Following the training, workers will receive a pay increase of 50 cents per hour.
