(Wisconsin Radio Network) Wisconsin is putting new money toward training healthcare workers.

According to the Wisconsin Radio Network, Governor Tony Evers and the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development announced Tuesday more than $410,000 in grants through the Wisconsin Fast Forward Program.

The funding will help train more than six hundred healthcare workers and support three organizations addressing critical workforce shortages. The grants also fund new industry partnerships for high‑demand healthcare and health sciences jobs.

State officials say healthcare makes up more than 15 percent of Wisconsin’s workforce, and the program has trained over 31,000 workers since launching in 2013.
