In January 2022, Governor Evers announced he is providing up to $5 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding for meat talent development programming. This funding will be used to attract students to meat careers, provide financial support to students in Wisconsin meat processing training programs, support program development, and connect the meat processing industry with potential employees.
DATCP will work cooperatively with stakeholders and the industry to implement a program that strengthens Wisconsin's meat processing supply chain and workforce.
