WCLO's Stan Stricker reports on the anticipated increase of laid off auto workers expected at the Rock County Job Center
Now that General Motors has decided on Michigan, over Janesville, for a new small car manufacturing plant, auto workers are encouraged to inquire about retraining opportunities at the Rock County Job Center.
Southwest Wisconsin Workforce Development Board Director Bob Borremans says only a small percentage of GM line workers have visited the Job Center. He expects that to change now.
He adds money to start the retraining process is still available, and there's time to begin classes yet this fall.
