The Workforce Competitiveness Trust Fund (WCTF) was created to develop training pipelines to meet the skill needs of businesses in high demand occupations. Through the Economic Development Act passed by the Legislature and signed into law by Governor Patrick in August, the WCTF was recapitalized with a $5 million appropriation from the General Fund. We will be issuing a Request for Proposals in October 2012 to award these funds. Please check back for more information and to download the Request for Proposals. Learn More »
