一般计划

The Workforce Training Fund’s General Program training grants help Massachusetts employers address business productivity and competitiveness by providing resources to businesses to fund training for current and newly hired employees. WTFP expects applicants to focus on supplemental training and commit to private investment in training for the duration of the grant, and after the grant has expired. Training funded by the Workforce Training Fund Program should address the following priorities:

• Training plans that will result in job retention, job growth, and/or increased wages.
• Training plans are expected to improve a company’s productivity, competitiveness, and ability to do business in Massachusetts.

Grants are awarded competitively to Massachusetts employers (or a consortium of employers) to train their current and newly hired full-time and part-time employees (i.e. incumbent workers).

• The competition for General Program Training Grants from the Workforce Training Fund is particularly strong. Funding is awarded on a case-by-case basis, and other restrictions may apply.
• Employers are encouraged to apply for grants focusing on adult basic education (ABE) and/or English for speakers of other languages (ESOL), Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), and Climate Change Resiliency / Green Economy.
