Community Resource Information: In conjunction with MassHire Greater Brockton Workforce Board, we’re able to assist employers interested in re-locating to the region by connecting them with state and local economic development agencies.

Through partnerships with a variety of organizations, such as the Metro South Chamber of Commerce, Brockton 21st Century, Old Colony Planning Council, and the Small Business Administration, we provide access to valuable community resources.

Federal/State Training Fund Information: We routinely help businesses identify and access federal and state grants available for worker training and education, as well as programs that assist employees with outplacement services. Examples of available grants include:
