What happened
The Campbell’s Company provided a $500,000 donation to Per Scholas to launch a pilot program in Milwaukee. This program will train 25 participants over 15 weeks for manufacturing careers. Per Scholas noted that the workforce is aging quickly and that the roles available are increasingly technological.

Why it matters
The training initiative occurs amid a decline in manufacturing jobs in Wisconsin, which saw a loss of about 9,500 jobs between January 2025 and January 2026. Job losses were attributed to worker retirements and economic uncertainty making manufacturers hesitant to hire.
