Today, the Baker-Polito Administration awarded $5.4 million in 2021-2022 Senator Kenneth J. Donnelly Workforce Success Grants for Expanded Training Capacity & Employment Program Performance. These grants are part of the ongoing effort by the Workforce Skills Cabinet (WSC) to support additional capacity in ongoing sector-based employment programs that provide job training, placement, and retention services to unemployed and underemployed Massachusetts residents. “This new round of Donnelly Grants will inspire economic growth through proven workforce initiatives that train the unemployed and underemployed for in-demand career pathways,” disse o governador Charlie Baker. “Such targeted investments are a key element of our regional strategy that continues to support businesses and workers across the Commonwealth.” Administered by Commonwealth Corporation on behalf of the Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development, this grant initiative is funded through an appropriation for the Workforce Competitiveness Trust Fund (WCTF) in the Fiscal Year 2021 and 2022 State Budget (line item 7002-1075) and the federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) of 2021. In 2018, the Massachusetts Legislature voted to rename grant awards from the WCTF in memory of the late Senator Kenneth J. Donnelly, who was a steadfast champion of promoting workforce opportunities for people who might otherwise lack a pathway to economic stability. “This Administration values partners like the organizations and schools represented in this round of Donnelly Grant recipients,” disse o tenente-governador Karyn Polito. “The commitment of these grantees and the work they accomplish leads to better job opportunities for constituents, in high-demand sectors like technology, healthcare, human services, and biotechnology.” As part of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) investments, an initial WCTF request for proposal was posted last fall, making more than $30M available to be funded through a rolling application process. Announced in this round of grants, 12 Massachusetts employers will enroll additional unemployed and underemployed residents in high-demand priority occupations identified through the Regional Workforce Skills Planning Initiative blueprint process, such as healthcare, the trades, and information technology.   “Connecting the unemployed and underemployed with new opportunities and equipping them with the skills they need for rewarding, in-demand work helps close job and equity gaps across the Commonwealth,” disse a Secretária de Trabalho e Desenvolvimento da Força de Trabalho, Rosalin Acosta. “Donnelly grant recipients are critical in these efforts to meet the growing needs of both jobseekers and employers.” The WCTF is administered by Commonwealth Corporation on behalf of the Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development.
