About the Workforce Competitiveness Trust Fund
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 »

Commonwealth Partnership for Economic Opportunity
The Commonwealth Partnership for Economic Opportunity (CPEO) works to address Massachusetts's critical need to build the capacity of a range of organizations (community, faith-based and state agencies) to coordinate workforce development programs and support services so that low-income adults and youth who are not engaged in school or work will have access to the tools and resources they need to enable them to compete for jobs in our knowledge-based economy.
