The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture and University of Wisconsin-Platteville announced the Beginning a Career in the Meat Industry programming, which is a half-day course designed for college and high school students who want to learn more about careers in the meat sector.
The project is funded by the Meat Talent Development Program, a $5 million program created by Governor Tony Evers to strengthen the state's meat processing supply chain and workforce. The sessions will cover a variety of topics such as the history of Wisconsin's meat industry, overview of career opportunities, the importance of sanitation and food safety, and resume building.
State Agriculture Secretary Randy Romanski joined UW-Platteville administrators, faculty, and stakeholders on campus to make the announcement.
UW-Platteville will host two free sessions on January 10, 2023 at UW-Platteville and January 17 at UW-Platteville Baraboo Sauk County. The workshops will begin at 1:00 p.m. and conclude by 4:30 p.m.
