To ensure enough skilled workers for state employers, Walker's 2015-'17 budget plan also calls for:
■■ Freezing tuition for technical college students who go into high-demand fields, a pledge he made previously on the campaign trail
■ Making all state funding for technical college dependent on their performance in meeting work force training targets. No further details were provided.
■ Increasing state scholarships by an undisclosed amount for students going into technical education classes
■ Putting $5 million a year into the Transform Milwaukee jobs program and $3 million over two years for other areas of the state, including Kenosha and Racine counties. The proposal appeared to call for new state spending in this area but a spokeswoman for Walker did not immediately respond to a request for confirmation of that.
■ Allowing candidates with "real-life experience" to take compentency tests to gain teaching licenses
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
I kinda like that one
“Allowing candidates with “real-life experience” to take compentency tests to gain teaching licenses”
Ooooo golly! I can hear the screaming already from the teacher’s unions. Talking about poking a rabid dog with a stick LOL!
How will we pay for this? How about with the money we’ll save not giving benefits to drug abusers?
I’m with Walker on this. Now, if we can only get him to get behind Right to Work.
