If you graduated from a Door County or Kewaunee County high school, you could be one of 100 vocational training scholarship recipients in northeast Wisconsin. The Bay Area Workforce Development announced on Thursday that they are making one hundred scholarships of up to $8,000 immediately available. The scholarships are for individuals pursuing technical training leading to a career in one of five high-demand industries that include transportation, manufacturing, healthcare, construction, or information technology. Bay Area WDB Executive Director Matt Valiquette says that while the scholarships are part of a federal program and can be used anywhere nationally, the aid is aimed to help the local workforce.
The scholarships are designed to help recipients with costs like tuition, textbooks, transportation, childcare, and tools. You can learn more about eligibility and how to apply here.
