While available to Massachusetts businesses of all sizes, the Workforce Training Fund Program (WTFP) focuses on small to medium-sized businesses that would not be able to invest in improving employee skills without the assistance of the Fund.

The On-the-Job Training National Emergency Grant Project (OJT/NEG) assists employers with the cost of hiring and training new employees who have been unemployed. It allows employers to hire and train new employees at their place of business and receive reimbursement for a percentage of the trainees’ wages for up to six months of training.

As detailed in the Southeast Massachusetts Regional Planning Blueprint, the top three industries most important to the region’s economic success are healthcare, manufacturing, and professional & technical services. Other industries that have warranted specific attention in this plan are financial services, construction, and transportation.
