Workforce Force Training Fund Events
The Workforce Training Fund and partner organizations host Information Sessions and General Program Application Workshops across the state. These sessions are geared to you and your business needs. They provide an overview of the features and benefits of each Workforce Training Fund grant program, including the amount of available funding, program guidelines, and how to apply for each grant. You have direct access to our staff to ask any questions you might have about each program.
General Program Application Workshops are designed for companies that are ready to apply or in the process of applying for a General Program Training Grant. Workshops provide a comprehensive review of the General Program application, how to develop a successful training plan, measurable grant outcomes, grant terminology, and examples of applications.

Manufacturing Sector Meetings
The Manufacturing Sector Meetings are intended for workforce practitioners interested in sharing and learning from one another about effective manufacturing workforce practices. Our goal is to come together to share manufacturing workforce development tools, strategies and approaches. We will convene 3 meetings over the next year. We will strive to develop agenda items that reflect topics of interest from the group and that are not specific to any particular grant funding. Please note that this convening will be separate from any grant program specific meetings, however, we will do our best to align dates and meeting locations.
Below is the date for the next meeting. All meetings will be held at Mass Tech Collaborative.
September 12, 2019, from 9:30am-12:00pm
