Project Lead the Way - Today's Idea for a Stronger Economy

On each of the last 13 days before the Nov. 2010 election, I'm offering a new idea, thought or comment on how we can better position Wisconsin for brighter day of economic prosperity and job growth. 

6 days until Election Day
Wisconsin enjoys a mighty manufacturing base, and to save those jobs and stay globally competitive, we must transition from commodity production and manufacturing to advanced manufacturing, high-value production and innovative technologies. An essential part of that strategy is to produce home-grown talent in STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math).  By visiting high schools, I’ve seen the PTLW program accomplishing this goal, encouraging students of both genders to pursue academic and career opportunities in stem fields.
