The Massachusetts Business Coalition on Skills (MBCS), a coalition of 27 diverse business organizations from across the state advocates for equitable skills development policies so our current and future workforce can meet employers’ needs. As debate begins on S.3, the MBCS urges support of Amendment #701 (Career Technical Institutes) because it expands access to innovative education and training opportunities.
Amendment #701, filed by Senator Patricia D. Jehlen, increases the funding for the Career Technical Institutes (CTI) line-item (7002-1091) from the proposed $6M to $15.4M. The MBCS supports the increased funding for CTI because it enables the state to train a projected 20,000 new workers in skilled trades over the next four years. CTI has the potential to increase the number of skilled workers ready to enter stable career tracks in a variety of trades.
