Description
The Technical Assistance Grant under the Workforce Training Fund Program (WTFP), administered by Commonwealth Corporation, is a special initiative designed to help Massachusetts employers or workforce development organizations expand or improve workforce training when traditional grant options do not fully address their needs. These grants are intended for exceptional, strategic projects that build or enhance training capacity around high-priority topics—specifically English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), or Climate Change.
