One
of the most important things we do together through government is to support the
development of people's skills to enable more of us to find good jobs, provide
for our families, and contribute to the Massachusetts economy. With support from
SkillWorks, MassBudget has created a new resource, our online
Jobs & Workforce Budget, which
provides easily accessible funding information and clear descriptions of the
workforce development programs funded by our state budget.
In
connection with the launch of this on-line resource, we are releasing a new
brief, "Investing in People: Jobs and Workforce
Training in the Massachusetts State Budget," that builds on resources
in the Jobs & Workforce Budget. This brief analyzes state support over the
past decade, finding that these programs have been cut by about a third since FY
2001 (adjusted for inflation).
Using
the Jobs & Workforce Budget you can:
-
Learn about all the programs in a particular area: Workforce Development, Education, Workers with Disabilities, and Youth Development.
-
Within those areas, you can look at individual programs, like the Workforce Training Fund. For each program, you will find a full description, state funding history, proposals for future funding, and links to other online resources.
If
you want to understand how we support workforce development through our state
budget, please visit the Jobs & Workforce Budget and read
"Investing in People: Jobs and Workforce
Training in the Massachusetts State Budget."
