Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey announced on October 14, 2026 $1.9 million in registered apprenticeship grants aimed at expanding access to paid training across the state, according to the administration's press release. The funding flows through the new GROW Intermediary grant program, which pays organizations to partner with employers to create and expand registered apprenticeship programs, letting residents earn a paycheck while building skills for growing industries. 'Registered Apprenticeship gives people a chance to earn a paycheck while gaining the skills and experience they need to build a lasting career,' Healey said in the announcement. The grants target local and regional partnerships and expansion of apprenticeships into industries beyond the traditional building trades, the administration said. This is a state workforce funding announcement from October 14; program-level award details are being released by the state.
