About us
The MassHire Metro North Workforce Board is a public-private partnership whose mission is to enable area residents to gain the skills to maximize their economic self-sufficiency and provide employers with the workforce they need to effectively compete in the changing world economy. As one of 16 local Workforce Development Boards established in Massachusetts by the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (recently superseded by the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2014), the Workforce Board was formed to: set local workforce policy, determine how state and federal funds are best used for workforce development, develop partnerships to align the needs of employers to the needs of area residents, and oversee the Metro North One-Stop Career Centers where both job search and employer services are provided. By law, business leaders must constitute a majority of the Board with other members representing education, training, labor and economic development.

What is a people-centered approach to digital equity? At this Wednesday's Massachusetts Technology Collaborative Digital Equity Forum, our very own Penny Hasseli shared the importance of constant feedback mechanisms, considering the needs of multiple communities, and serving those affected most. At this event, we celebrated digital equity practitioners and their work, heard remarks from state leaders, and saw a showcase of digital equity strategies across Massachusetts. Thank you to everyone for an inspiring, educational, and collaborative Digital Inclusion Week 2024. We will carry these conversations with us as we continue this important work. #digitalequity #bridgingthegap #DIW2024 #inclusivetech #techforall
