These \u201cforever chemicals,\u201d which are used in common products, have been found in high levels in drinking water throughout the state and are linked to significant health issues in humans. Another is related to workforce development in aquaculture.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe most exciting thing about this latest round of funding is seeing how programs are becoming more interconnected,\u201d said Marissa Jablonski, executive director for the Freshwater Collaborative of Wisconsin. \u201cWe can really see how these connections are building a pipeline from college recruitment to jobs in freshwater in Wisconsin.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Freshwater Collaborative is a statewide initiative, backed by the Wisconsin Legislature, to support curriculum development, career development and field training experiences for students interested in studying water-related fields at the 13 universities in the UW System.<\/p>\n<p
