The Massachusetts Workforce Skills Fund builds on strategies outlined in the Healey-Driscoll Administration’s Massachusetts Workforce Agenda, Meeting the Moment to Attract, Retain, and Develop a Future Workforce, released earlier this year.
The Healey-Driscoll Administration today launched the Massachusetts Workforce Skills Fund, a pilot stipend program to provide financial support for eligible unemployed and underemployed Massachusetts residents enrolled in job training. Utilizing federal funds, individuals in approved training programs can receive up to $5,000 in stipends, depending on available funds during the pilot program. The goal of the program is to make it easier for residents to access job training and find work, while also attracting and keeping skilled workers for high-demand jobs.
