Gov. Healey awards $1.5M in grants to 500 Mass. community college students
Gov. Maura Healey awarded about $1.5 million in Training Resources and Internships Network (TRAIN) grants to several community colleges to help over 500 students.
Money from these TRAIN grants will go to over 500 unemployed and underemployed students and will be administered through the state's 15 public community colleges, Healey's office said in a statement.
'These grants... are designed to equip adult workers with the skills necessary to thrive in key industry sectors, ensuring that the workforce is prepared with the skills for the opportunities of tomorrow‚" Healey's office said.
This program is intended to support new workers who are long-term unemployed or underemployed, giving them help with targeted industry skills and workforce readiness training.
'These TRAIN grants will connect hundreds of community college students to the skills, support, and opportunities they need to succeed in growing industries and help ensure our economy works for everyone," Healey said in the statement.
'Community colleges are at the heart of workforce development in Massachusetts,' Education Secretary Dr. Patrick Tutwiler said in the statement. 'Through this investment, we are creating pathways for adult learners to thrive — both in the classroom and in high-demand careers.'
