The Direct Access Program  addresses smaller-scale training needs by making training slots available free of charge to businesses that are eligible for the Workforce Training Fund in the state of Massachusetts.

Businesses should consider the program when:

• The scope and scale of training needs are smaller than what would be proposed in a General Program application
• Training needs cannot be easily met by a consortium or Express Program grant
  
  

Ten training programs have been funded across Massachusetts, including GBMP's 8-week Lean Certificate program, to train employees in such topics as process improvement, computer skills, supervisory skills, and more. To learn more about training opportunities, including detailed course listings, view the Direct Access Program grant summary. Businesses should reach out to the contacts listed in the grant summary for more information or to register for a course.

GBMP has partnered with Commonwealth Corp to deliver a series of our 8 week Lean Certificate courses as part of this grant program. Please contact Jamie Millman  at 617-710-7033 or at JMillman@gbmp.org for more information on eligibility and upcoming courses.
