About the Partners

The Wisconsin Motor Carriers Association (WMCA) is a non-profit trade association representing the Wisconsin Towing Association, Wisconsin Milk Haulers Association, Wisconsin Motor Coach Association and the Wisconsin Movers Association with 1,200 members ranging from independent contractors with one truck to companies with thousands of trucks.

The Wisconsin Beverage Association (WBA) members, including Coca-Cola, Keurig Dr. Pepper, and PepsiCo, employ some 4800 persons in Wisconsin, with roughly one-quarter working in distribution. The WBA and its member companies will connect these CDL students and graduates with Wisconsin’s beverage industry employers.

Since 2011, the Latino Academy of Workforce Development’s (LAWD) has connected workforce training and job placement with customized resource navigation support. The Latino Academy Approach combines initial, individualized candidate screening with soft skills development and occupational training in the high-demand and high-wage transportation industry sector. Resource navigators continue working with new hires for up to twelve months after job placement, streamlining the employer’s onboarding efforts and costs while also increasing employee job satisfaction through improved two-way communication and greater understanding and utilization of employer benefits. The Latino Academy program enrollments doubled in 2020, with double-digit growth continuing in 2021.
