Center on Wisconsin Strategy

The Center on Wisconsin Strategy, based at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, is a national policy center and field laboratory for high-road economic development- a competitive market economy of shared prosperity, environmental sustainability, and capable democratic government. COWS work is collaborative, experimental, and evidence-driven. Working with business, government, labor and communities, we try out new ideas, test their effectiveness, and disseminate those with promise. Some areas of program focus are: economic and workforce development; sectoral strategies and career pathways; clean energy and energy efficiency; labor markets and job improvement; strategies for improving low-wage work.
