The Wisconsin Restaurant Association is encouraged to see that workforce development is a priority and included in Governor Evers’ budget priorities.
The restaurant and hospitality sector has many training options available and the WRA is ready to be a partner in helping develop skills needed to be successful in our industry. Attracting and retaining staff was a key concern prior to the pandemic and will be moving forward as the economy starts to recover from the Coronavirus pandemic.
