“That Could Work Here!”
“From Interest to Job: How MassMEP is Ensuring a Quality Experience for Partners and Participants”
MassMEP partners with key organizations to train and place nontraditional job seekers in career pathways with small and medium-sized manufacturers across the state. Focusing on essential skills for entry-level positions and practical on-the-job training, the P2P model educates both job seekers and employers to ensure successful matches.
In preparing for the upcoming training to the various underserved populations, we realized the importance of consistency of service practices related to each workforce training program. We looked at optimizing and coordinating resources from our partners to add value to enhance existing programs. Instead of duplicating services, combining efforts, combining resources, and sharing ideas to better serve All involved.
