Wisconsin Manufacturing and Skilled Trades Jobs Act

The State of Wisconsin shall establish a targeted manufacturing and skilled-trades jobs initiative to expand registered apprenticeships in partnership with employers, unions, technical colleges, and local schools; provide competitive state tax credits and redevelopment grants for manufacturers that locate or expand in vacant or underused industrial corridors, including in Milwaukee and other working-class communities; and require recipients of such incentives to meet reasonable local hiring, apprenticeship utilization, and wage reporting standards, with priority given to projects that remediate long-vacant sites, create full-time jobs, and strengthen in-state supply chains.
