SCALE Grant

In an effort to support the ongoing economic recovery and growth objectives of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the Massachusetts Workforce Skills Cabinet (WSC) is introducing the Scaling Capacity and Leveraging Employers (SCALE) Planning Grant. These funds are aligning public and private resources across the system to scale effective education-to-employment pathways that better position residents who want to be hired into jobs that businesses need filled.   

The Commonwealth has an unprecedented opportunity to infuse significant resources into the public workforce system. The SCALE Planning Grant provides an opportunity to operationalize partnerships who will apply for larger implementation grants to solve bigger problems. This is done by de-risking the time required by businesses and stakeholder partners to determine and apply for implementation funding. SCALE encourages and requires direct engagement from the business community to solve their training, education and talent needs at a high volume.
