Qualifying as a Training/Services Provider
Funding for Training Providers/Services
Funding for training providers can occur in a number of different ways.
Periodically the MHHCWB will directly issue procurement solicitations: “Request for Proposals”, “Request for Qualifications”, “Request for Applications”, etc. for various type funds for training providers, service providers and/or employers.
Open solicitations of ALL types are posted in the Open RFPs/RFQs page.
In addition, there are procedures, through the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, to qualify as a training vendor under various funding sources, such as Title I of the Federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), and with the State’s “Section 30” Training Opportunities and Workforce Training Fund Programs.
The MHHCWB plays a role in reviewing and approving eligible providers under WIA and can also provide assistance in understanding the other opportunities for training providers.
