The Community Workforce Partnership Grant program supports community-led responses to community-defined economic opportunities and challenges, with a particular focus on equipping residents and small business employees with the knowledge, support, and skills to succeed in today’s economy.
The program’s increased emphasis on workforce skills reflects this grant’s new funding source, the Workforce Investment Trust Fund. The fund’s goal is to develop and strengthen workforce opportunities for low-income communities and vulnerable youth and young adults in the commonwealth, including providing opportunities and strategies to promote stable employment and wage growth.
