MWA Leads, Advocates, and Convenes on Behalf of the Massachusetts Workforce System
In this edition of the Quarterly Voice, we highlight a report MWA drafted outlining a vision and recommendations for the Healey-Driscoll Administration. As we enter the new legislative session, with a new Governor and Lt. Governor, we hope members will use this report and the steps outlined below to engage the Legislature and the Administration in conversations around what is possible for our workforce development system.

Thank you for being a valued member of MWA.

Best,

MWA Highlights a
New Workforce Vision
A New Workforce Development Vision for Massachusetts
MWA, through our membership, prepared the attached report which sets out our vision and recommendations for the incoming Healey-Driscoll Administration and the 2023-2024 Legislative Session. We seek to create a nation-leading and forward-thinking workforce system. Such a system would be: regionally-led and employer-driven, inclusive and equitable, innovative and agile, data driven, and well-aligned with other state systems.

Our recommendations, which are explained in more detail in the report include: (1) investing in modern data systems; (2) making workforce data public and accessible; (3) prioritizing collaboration between local and state-level parts of the system; and (4) establishing two new workforce funds to support capacity and innovation.
