Gov. Charlie Baker’s $15 million awards in workforce training grants will not only bolster the community colleges that receive it, but also will strengthen the state’s future employment position.
The state’s 15 community colleges, including those in Springfield, Holyoke and Greenfield, will receive $735,000 apiece. The remainder of the grant will be allocated based on student enrollment demand.
