WCTF 投资于由行业部门合作伙伴设计的需求驱动计划,这些计划旨在培训和安置失业和就业不足的工人。该基金的目的是支持制定和实施雇主和工人响应计划,以提高工人技能、收入、生产力和保留率,并提高马萨诸塞州企业的质量和竞争力。 WCTF 计划为英联邦的人们提供服务,他们的生活经历和环境使他们在没有针对性支持的情况下难以成功就业。他们包括未充分就业并依靠公共福利援助养家糊口的人、长期与劳动力脱节的人以及无法完成正规教育的人。
2018 年,马萨诸塞州立法机构投票决定重新命名 WCTF 的赠款奖项,以纪念已故参议员肯尼斯·唐纳利,他是促进英联邦劳动力机会的坚定拥护者,特别是对于那些可能缺乏经济稳定途径的人。本着这种精神,我们寻求建立由拥有深厚专业知识的当地组织提供支持的部门合作伙伴关系,旨在提升各种背景的人。 WCTF 模式使社区组织能够与雇主合作伙伴和公共劳动力系统建立和维持有效的伙伴关系,同时努力融入更公平和创新的做法,从而为英联邦更多的人带来更多的经济流动性。

The report must include the number of educational and eligible service providers receiving grants and participants receiving services and placed in employment, as well as the salary and benefits that participants receive after placement, the cost per participant, and job retention or promotion rates for the year after training ends.
