GREEN BAY, Wis. –– President Joe Biden’s American Family Plan could impact Wisconsin’s skilled labor shortage if it passes as is.
Part of the $1.8 billion dollar plan includes $109 billion over ten years to make community college free for every American.
“I think on the surface this definitely has some attraction and appeal,” said Matt Valiquett, Executive Director of the Bay Area Workforce Development Board.
He has spent a decade working to connect employers with the skilled workers they need.
“We’ve had a technical skill gap here for in the state of Wisconsin for quite some time,” Valiquett said.
