About
THE MCKENZIE REGIONAL WORKFORCE CENTER
Conceived by Boys & Girls Clubs of Dane County and the Madison Area Builders Association – and powered by partnerships with area organizations such as Findorff, Cru Concrete, Hooper Corporation, and the IBEW Local 159, the McKenzie Regional Workforce Center aims to train and connect a new generation of young people to the skilled trades.
A first-of-its-kind project for Boys & Girls Clubs of America, the Center serves as a national template – preparing young people in Dane County for quality, family-sustaining jobs at a time when the skilled trades are facing a labor shortage.
