Baker announced Tuesday that the Workforce Training Fund Program (WTFP) is awarding $8 million through its latest round of grants to about 100 businesses statewide. The team at BioLabs is receiving $102,000 through that program.
The Baker Administration is proposing to boost investments in programs like the WTFP through a $2.9 billion plan to spend part of the discretionary funds the state received from the federal American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA). The Administration’s plan includes $240 million for workforce development and job-training programs.
