An Act for a Bridge Employment Training Program (BET)

This bill establishes a new Bridge Employment Training Program in Massachusetts to help individuals who have recently lost their jobs or are currently unemployed find suitable work. The Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development would create this program to offer training contracts lasting up to two years, matching participants with available positions in private, non-profit, and public sectors. The initiative aims to connect job seekers with necessary skills training while coordinating resources from various public and private partners to ensure broad access to employment opportunities.
