MASSACHUSETTS WORKFORCE SKILLS CABINET INITIATIVE
The purpose of this initiative is to provide guidance to workforce, education, and economic partners regarding the implementation of the regional planning process and the development and publication of Regional Labor Market Blueprints.
The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, signed into law on July 22, 2014, requires States to designate “regions” for the purpose of aligning workforce development activities and resources with larger regional economic development areas and available resources to provide coordinated and efficient services to both job seekers and employers.
