Through the Community Workforce Partnerships Grant Program, the Executive Office of Economic Development (EOED) funds projects or programs that create workforce development opportunities within Massachusetts cities and towns. Successful applications come from a group of local organizations working together in a single city, town, or neighborhood.
Program Information
This program builds on the success of the Urban Agenda grant, which has supported local economic priorities and collective problem-solving for the past ten years. It aims to promote economic mobility and create opportunities for grantees to collaborate with each other. The program also now offers a longer implementation period and higher maximum award amounts.
The Community Workforce Partnership Grant program supports community-led responses to community-defined economic opportunities and challenges, with a particular focus on equipping residents and small business employees with the knowledge, support, and skills to succeed in today’s economy.
The program’s increased emphasis on workforce skills reflects this grant’s new funding source, the Workforce Investment Trust Fund. The fund's goal is to develop and strengthen workforce opportunities for low-income communities and vulnerable youth and young adults in the commonwealth, including providing opportunities and strategies to promote stable employment and wage growth.
