How to Fund Corporate Training
Grant writing is available, at no cost, for submission to the Workforce Training Fund Program. The Workforce Training Fund is a state fund financed entirely by Massachusetts employers, and enacted into law in July 1998. Its purpose is to provide resources to Massachusetts businesses and workers to train current and newly hired employees. The mission of the Fund is to provide businesses with the resources to invest in the Massachusetts workforce and improve employee skills, and to maintain the economic strength and viability of the Commonwealth’s businesses.
Workforce Training Fund Options
- General Program Grant: Companies looking for extensive training up to $200,000 with up to two years to deliver training.
- Express Program Grant: Employers looking for less complex training with quicker turn-around.
