“As in many areas of the country, workers are scarce, but Wisconsin is actively building links between the education system and employers. Nolato is an enthusiastic participant in the Career Cruising/Inspire program for middle-school and high-school students. In addition, the willingness of the technical colleges to listen and provide focused training and internships is powerful. Along with the superior quality of engineering graduates from UW-Stout, all of these factors have led us to the decision that Wisconsin is the right place to grow and expand.”
