The Massachusetts Chamber of Commerce Foundation has been launched in order to offer grants to smaller Massachusetts manufacturers providing on-the-job training for skilled positions. The foundation will provide workforce training grants to companies with up to 200 employees.
To be eligible for a grant, employers must offer training in a skilled occupation, such as electronics, computer technology, construction, engineering or healthcare. The employer plans, prepares and administers all on-the-job training, which will typically last four weeks. All manufacturing industries are eligible.
