MassHire Merrimack Valley is receiving about $1 million to help provide summer and year-round jobs for 300 youth this year.
MassHire Merrimack Valley, which operates job matching and training services, says it will offer service, project-based learning and subsidized work experiences across various industries including Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics; education; performing arts; and finance.
The Healey-Driscoll Administration said nearly $14.4 million was allocated across the 16 MassHire regional workforce boards statewide to hire 3,786 youth and young adults for summer and year-round jobs through the state’s YouthWorks program. The administration also launched the Youth Employment and Skills—called YES—initiative, to connect employers with opportunities to support youth employment and skills development.
The YES initiative builds on the Gateway Youth Employment Pilot, launched last December, that encourages MassHire regional workforce boards to engage with more than 560 employers.
