Bill > S1199

This bill establishes a Bridge Employment Training Program (BET) in Massachusetts, to be developed and administered by the Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development (EOLWD). The program aims to provide Employable Skills Training (EST) to individuals who have recently lost their jobs or are determined to be employable, matching them with available positions in private, non-profit, and public sectors. The bill authorizes the EOLWD to create Independent Employment Training Contracts (IETC) for up to two years, with the goal of improving the economic lives of individuals and benefiting the Commonwealth as a whole. The program is intended to be innovative and non-discriminatory, coordinating various private, non-profit, and public resources, including consultation with human resource professionals.
