Working Together: Massachusetts' Regional Workforce Strategies Initiative The Massachusetts Regional Workforce Strategy Initiative is a statewide effort to build regional pipelines to prepare Massachusetts workers for high demand jobs.
This statewide initiative will bring leaders in business, education, government, and workforce development together to develop concrete plans and partnerships to fill jobs that are in-demand in each region of the state and to develop pathways to the skills and opportunities that lead to success in our economy.
These meetings are open to the public, and are aimed at advancing Governor Patrick’s commitment to encourage civic engagement and public participation in solving public policy challenges.
At each regional session, the Center for Labor Market Studies at Northeastern University will present new regional labor market demand and supply data that will drive the identification of regional workforce needs and priorities to assist regional partners in developing strategies to solve workforce challenges.
You can find data presented at these events and additional information about the initiative on the Commonwealth Corporation website www.commcorp.org.
