What skills do local manufacturers need next? Today, we’re hearing directly from employers.

At Mid-State’s USA MADE employer listening session, we’re reviewing certificates already developed and asking what’s missing, from training needs to the challenges employers face in developing their workforce.

Their input will help shape training through our U.S. Small Business Administration Empower to Grow grant, supporting eligible small manufacturers across Central Wisconsin.

Thank you to the employers sharing their experience and helping us build what comes next!

Stay tuned as we build on today’s session to address what local manufacturers need. Free training for current employees of eligible manufacturers is slated to begin in the first quarter of 2027.

Last week, future chefs were busy in the kitchen during Mid-State’s Summer Cooking Camp at the Wisconsin Rapids Campus.

Campers practiced new culinary skills and turned fresh ingredients into their own creations, from pizza (including scratch-made dough) to breakfast favorites and chicken tacos.

A fun few days of learning, creativity, and delicious results.
