WISCONSIN – U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) announced that the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction will receive $1,475,000 for its Unlocking Pathways Wisconsin initiative to connect more high school students with good-paying jobs upon graduation. The funding, from the Perkins Innovation and Modernization grant program, will go towards increasing career advising and navigation, dual enrollment, work-based learning, and workforce credentials for high school students. The funding will be allocated to 20 pilot high schools in Wisconsin, serving a total of more than 10,000 students, with each school receiving up to $45,000 per year.
The funding for the Perkins Innovation and Modernization grants is from the Baldwin-supported government funding bill. The investment for Wisconsin is part of a total of $25 million awarded to 16 states and the District of Columbia to build the capacity of education and workforce systems, partnered with business and industry, to develop new high-quality career-connected high school programs for more students.
