Lawmakers are going to get an update from Wisconsin’s technical college boss this week.
Technical College System president Layla Merrifield is due to speak to the Senate Committee on Universities and Revenue on Wednesday. Lawmakers say they are continuing their look into how to better train a new workforce for the state. Wisconsin has long been facing a worker shortage, and the UW System is facing a student shortage. The hope is to use the technical college system in the state to solve at least one of those shortages.
