A local school district is getting some money from the state for Technical Education Equipment Grants.
An announcement from Governor Tony Evers’s office says the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development says more than 4,600 in 17 districts, including Two Rivers Public Schools, will benefit from the grants from the Wisconsin Fast Forward Program.
The Two Rivers Public School District will use the $12,630 in grant funds for a Snap-On Precision Measurement Training Tool Kit, which will help students understand the fundamentals of working with precision measurement instruments.
The current amount of grants totals more than $400,000 for districts across the state for career paths involving robotics, welding, plasma cutting, 3D printing, drones, and more.
The Stockbridge School District in Calumet County will also be getting $5,000 for a plasma table with a plasma cutter.
Gov. Evers says, “by investing in technical education in school districts across the state, we are connecting the dots and expanding career opportunities for thousands of students while positioning our manufacturers for success.”
