Who can apply

Employers with 100 or fewer Massachusetts payroll employees may qualify if they have a Massachusetts business location and contribute to the Workforce Training Fund. Nonprofits must use the contributory unemployment insurance method; the reimbursable method does not qualify. Participants must be W-2 employees on Massachusetts payroll, and training must take place on paid work time.

Funding is also capped at $300 per instructional hour per participant. The $15,000 annual employer limit covers all of the organization’s Express grants.

How to apply

  1. Gather your documents

    Prepare a Massachusetts DOR Certificate of Good Standing dated within six months, a current DUA Certificate of Compliance confirming Workforce Training Fund contributions, and a W-9 signed within one year. Use the same legal name and FEIN.
