Wisconsin Program to Create Weatherization Jobs

The State of Wisconsin will get $56.6 million in Federal stimulus funds to weatherize thousands of homes over the next three years.

The state has received a total of $70.7 million to fund hiring, training, and execution of the initiative. If the Department of Energy’s Weatherization Assistance Program is judged to be successful, the state will get another $70.8 million.

The new hires will install air sealing, attic insulation and sidewalls, plus install replacement refrigerators, electric water heaters, furnaces and lighting.

The program targets families that make up to twice the national poverty level of $22,000 per year for a family of four, as well as the elderly and disabled.

Testimonial of the Week

What I liked about the service is that it had such a comprehensive collection of jobs! I was using a number of sites previously and this took up so much time, but in joining EmploymentCrossing, I was able to stop going from site to site and was able to find everything I needed on EmploymentCrossing.

Only TravelingCrossing consolidates every job it can find in the domain and puts all of the job listings it locates in one place.

We have more jobs than any other job board.
We list jobs you will not find elsewhere that are hidden in small regional publications and employer websites
We collect jobs from more than 4,429,376 websites and post them on our site.
We are private, and therefore far fewer people are applying for the jobs on our site than are applying for those on public job boards.
