Massachusetts' Workforce Agenda

The Healey-Driscoll Administration’s first workforce agenda incorporates equity, competitiveness, and affordability to attract, retain, and develop a skilled workforce.

The Healey-Driscoll Administration’s Workforce Agenda is a statewide plan to attract, retain, and develop the skilled talent Massachusetts needs to stay competitive, inclusive, and affordable. Rooted in equity, competitiveness, and affordability, the agenda brings together state agencies and workforce partners around a shared strategy to remove barriers to employment, expand opportunity, and better align training with the needs of employers and industry.

About the Workforce Agenda

The Workforce Agenda serves as Massachusetts’ 2024–2028 Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) State Plan, aligning workforce strategies across state agencies and partners to create a unified approach to workforce development.

What the agenda focuses on

The Massachusetts Workforce Agenda is built around four priority areas that support workers, employers, and communities across the state. Together, these focus areas help strengthen the state's talent pipeline, expand economic opportunity, and prepare Massachusetts for future workforce needs.
