Helping employers attract, retain, and develop their workforce

Whether you’re starting a new business or expanding, we provide the tools employers need to attract, retain, and develop their workforce.

From world-class schools to innovative workforce programs, Massachusetts provides employers with multiple pathways to attract, develop, and retain top talent.

Posting jobs and building your workforce

Recruit with MassHire

MassHire Career Centers can help you make the most of MassHire JobQuest, giving your business direct access to a wide pool of local and statewide talent. They can also organize recruitment and hiring events tailored to the specific populations you want to reach, including Veterans. 

Massachusetts Registered Apprenticeship is an industry-driven, high-quality career pathway that allows employers to build their future workforce while individuals earn wages and gain valuable, hands-on experience. By sponsoring a Registered Apprenticeship Program, your business can build a pipeline of talent trained with the exact skills your company needs. Connect with the Division of Apprentice Standards to learn more about becoming a sponsor, or join an upcoming webinar for additional information.

Navigating change

Rapid Response teams offer early support to help your business prevent potential layoffs and provide immediate on-site services for workers facing job loss. Through the WorkShare Program, employees can work reduced hours while Unemployment Insurance (UI) helps replace a portion of lost wages. This approach keeps employees connected to their jobs and allows employers to retain their skilled workforce.
