As a business owner, am I eligible to take part in grant-funded training through the Express Program?

The Express Program provides employers fast, simple access to grant-funded training, helping businesses in Massachusetts respond to emerging needs. Massachusetts businesses, of any size, may apply. To qualify, businesses must pay into the Workforce Training Fund. All for-profit companies pay into the fund. All trainees must be full-time or part-time payroll employees of the company receiving an Express Program grant and must be employed in Massachusetts. (Trainees are not required to live in Massachusetts.) 

Since owners are generally not W-2 payroll employees, they are usually not eligible for funding through our program; however, we realize that each business is organized a bit differently. If you are a business owner AND a W-2 payroll employee, you would be eligible for funding through the Express Program. If not, your employees would be eligible, but you would not be.

If you have additional questions, you are welcome to email us at express@commcorp.org!
