For several years, manufacturing businesses in Wisconsin and across the country have reported a severe shortage of skilled workers to fill gaps within their growing businesses.

Dawn Tabat founded GPS Education Partners in 2000 while serving as chief operating officer at Generac Power Systems Inc. in Waukesha. Today, she serves as board president.
