Workforce developers: Area businesses step up to improve education system
Gus Ramirez embarked on one of the most ambitious projects of his philanthropic career earlier this year when he pledged to make a $60 million investment in improving education in Milwaukee with the development of a new K-12 school on the city's south side.
Concerned about the future workforce of his company, Waukesha-based HUSCO International Inc., and fed up with the performance of Milwaukee Public Schools, Ramirez made a bold proposal to play a more direct role in improving education in Milwaukee.
His proposed school, Augustine Prep, has garnered as much criticism from public school advocates, teachers' unions and charter school competitors as it has support from those who understand his vision. Much of the criticism stems from competition among schools to draw students and, with them, public funds.
“I believe this is something God wants to happen and He's given me enough nudges, opened up enough doors, created enough options for us to be successful that I think He's had a hand in this process,” said Ramirez, who serves as executive chairman of HUSCO. “If I didn't feel that, we wouldn't be doing it.”

Franklin Business Park companies teaming up with MATC on training program
Companies in the Franklin Business Park and Milwaukee Area Technical College are in the planning stages of establishing an employee training program that is slated to start in late 2015 or early 2016.
The objective of the program is for MATC faculty to come to the business park and teach a variety of classes to employees of participating companies. Employees would receive in-demand training in a convenient location, and the collaboration of businesses would make the classes more affordable.
