Massachusetts Workforce Training Fund

The Workforce Training Fund (WTF) is a state fund which is financed entirely by Massachusetts employers. Its purpose is to provide resources to Massachusetts businesses and workers to train current and newly hired employees. All trainees must be employed in Massachusetts and cannot be government employees. The business applying for a grant must pay into the Workforce Training Fund and be current with its unemployment insurance payments. Companies of any size are eligible to apply. MWCC will assist you in applying for the WTF grant and then provide customized training for your organization.
