Baker-Polito Administration Launches Hiring and Training Grant Program for Employers
The Baker-Polito administration launched a new hiring and training grant program for employers. The program, HireNow, will help employers quickly hire and train new workers and get more people back to work. It provides eligible employers with a $4,000-per-employee grant, which can be used to cover training costs or as a signing bonus for new employees. By providing employers with these flexible funds to facilitate quick hiring, the administration is focusing on addressing continued hiring challenges faced by employers and increasing labor-force participation.
