UW-La Crosse’s innovative working relationship with the city’s Trane Co. is being recognized statewide in the UW System initiative, Knowledge Powers Wisconsin.
The initiative with UW System and the state addresses the economic difficulties regional businesses face by providing additional resources to more effectively meet their needs to create growth and jobs. The Trane La Crosse campus employs more UW-L interns than any other company. Many of those interns go on to work at Trane, becoming software developers, engineers and accountants who have helped the company become a world leader in heating and air conditioning equipment.
The story, "UW-La Crosse interns, alums help keep the Trane Co. on track with employees, innovation," is highlighted on the Knowledge Powers Wisconsin homepage at http://www.uwpowerswi.com/.

The Knowledge Powers Wisconsin site has been developed by UW System, with help from all campuses, to show how Wisconsin’s public universities, colleges and extension networks are working to improve the state’s competitive edge by leveraging the state’s human capital, supporting business and industry, and strengthening local communities.
