Unique Approach: Honadel’s “Wisconsin Wins” Job Training Initiative Introduced

South Milwaukee Rep. Mark Honadel and his counterpart in the Senate, Sen. Van Wanggaard (R-Racine), have introduced a bill that gives unemployed job seekers a “tryout period” with prospective employers while still receiving unemployment benefits.

Check out the press release here.

And here is my previous post on this.

It’s an interesting concept and unique approach to matching unemployed workers with jobs. I hope it gets strong consideration.

Either way, it’s just refreshing to see a state legislator introduce a bill focused on jobs, a departure from the often non-job-focused bills that framed the recently concluded special “jobs” session. This editorial from the Appleton Post-Crescent put it well.

I’ll keep you posted as this moves through the legislature.
