Donnelly Success Grant

The Workforce Competitiveness Trust Fund (WCTF) invests in demand-driven programs designed by industry sector partnerships that train and place unemployed and underemployed workers. The purpose of the Fund is to support the development and implementation of employer and worker-responsive programs to enhance worker skills, incomes, productivity, and retention, and to increase the quality and competitiveness of Massachusetts businesses. WCTF programs serve people across the Commonwealth whose life experiences and circumstances make it difficult for them to succeed in employment without targeted support. They include individuals who are underemployed and rely on aid from public benefits to support their families, individuals who have been disconnected from the workforce for a long period, and people who have not been able to complete formal schooling.
En 2018, la Legislatura de Massachusetts votó para cambiar el nombre de las subvenciones de la WCTF en memoria del difunto Senador Kenneth Donnelly, quien fue un firme defensor de la promoción de oportunidades laborales en la Mancomunidad, especialmente para las personas que podrían carecer de un camino hacia la estabilidad económica. Con este espíritu, buscamos fomentar asociaciones sectoriales impulsadas por organizaciones locales que posean una gran experiencia y tengan como objetivo elevar a las personas de todos los orígenes. El modelo WCTF permite a las organizaciones comunitarias construir y mantener asociaciones efectivas con socios empleadores y el sistema de fuerza laboral pública mientras se esfuerzan por incorporar prácticas más equitativas e innovadoras que conduzcan a una mayor movilidad económica para más personas en la Commonwealth.

Healthcare Workforce Hub Initiative

Las juntas regionales de la fuerza laboral de MassHire Workforce Boards se asocian con los empleadores locales del sector de la salud y con proveedores de capacitaciones y educación para satisfacer la demanda de trabajadores cualificados por parte de los empleadores. Tienen la misión de proporcionar capacitación laboral y apoyo a los adultos que desean prepararse para ocupaciones de continua demanda.

Los beneficiarios de los núcleos de fuerza laboral de la salud HealthCare HUBs reclutan y capacitan a candidatos desempleados y subempleados para puestos de nivel básico. Apoyan la capacitación y también ofrecen oportunidades de desarrollo profesional al personal de salud de nivel básico e intermedio.

Estas alianzas regionales de empleadores, educadores y profesionales de la fuerza laboral se reúnen para construir y fortalecer las relaciones y desarrollar estrategias laborales centradas en la región. Así, satisfacen las necesidades del personal y, en última instancia, crean un sistema de salud más competitivo en Massachusetts.
