Programa del Fondo de Capacitación de la Fuerza Laboral

While available to Massachusetts businesses of all sizes, the Workforce Training Fund Program (WTFP) focuses on small to medium-sized businesses that would not be able to invest in improving employee skills without the assistance of the Fund.

About WTFP

The Workforce Training Fund Program helps address business productivity and competitiveness by providing resources to Massachusetts businesses to fund training for current and newly hired employees. In order for the Massachusetts economy to prosper, our businesses need access to a pipeline of skilled workers so they can stay competitive and continue to grow.

We are here to help you make an investment in your employees’ skills and your future. We offer four types of grants to support the training needs of businesses across the state. See below to learn how each program can help your employees and business today!

Programa Exprés (Express Program)

El Programa Exprés proporciona a los empleadores un acceso rápido y simple a capacitaciones financiadas con subvenciones, lo que facilita a las empresas de Massachusetts la posibilidad de responder a nuevas necesidades. El programa está diseñado para ayudar a las empresas a responder rápidamente a los cambios y mantener a los empleados comprometidos con la empresa. Con subvenciones muy pequeñas para las capacitaciones conocidas como “Justo a tiempo” (Un sistema de maximización de recursos conocido en inglés como Just-in-Time) sin periodos de espera entre subvenciones, el programa Express es nuestro camino más rápido hacia el financiamiento. Este programa está mejorado con un directorio aún más flexible de opciones de capacitación y con 6 pasos rápidos para el éxito.

Programa General

The General Program supports Massachusetts employers of any size with resources to fund larger-scale, customized, and strategic training to upskill or reskill employees. Applicants work with training vendors of their choice to deliver a training plan that supplements their workforce needs but does not replace traditional workplace investments. The purpose of the General Program is to increase company productivity, competitiveness, and ability to do business in Massachusetts by investing in the skills of your workforce.

General Program Bridge Grant

The General Program ESOL Bridge Grant is designed to provide English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) to continue through the 1 year waiting period for the General Program grant. You are eligible to apply for the General Program ESOL Bridge Grant if your organization has recently completed or will complete a General Program grant supporting English language learners in your workforce.

Technical Assistance Grant

On a very limited basis, the Workforce Training Fund Program may provide technical assistance grants to increase training opportunities to employees.
