The Massachusetts Workforce Training Fund is a state-wide fund financed by Massachusetts employers that was enacted into law in July, 1998. Its purpose is to provide applicants with funds to train current and newly hired employees.
Applicants can apply for training funds or technical assistance funds.
The mission of the Applicant Assistance Program of the Massachusetts Workforce Training Fund is to help all potential applicants define their training needs, objectives, and priorities. Even those who do not receive funding or choose not to pursue the application process can be assisted. This service is staffed by workplace learning specialists who cover different regions of the state. It can review your draft application and offer suggestions for improvement. It can discuss an application that was not previously approved, why it was rejected, and what changes may increase its chances for approval.
