The Workforce Training Fund Program helps address business productivity and competitiveness by providing resources to Massachusetts businesses to fund training for current and newly hired employees.
The program offers several types of grants to support the training needs of businesses of all sizes across the state, although its major focus is on small to medium sized businesses.
A new Express Program is available, allowing applicants to receive their grant award in only 21 days.
Express Program Training Grants:
On July 21, 2021, an increase was announced to the reimbursement amount for training courses - from 50% to 100% for firms/companies with fewer than 100 employees, and 50% reimbursement for firms/companies with 100 or more employees. Reimbursement must be requested within 30 days after a course has been completed.
