An Act assisting low-income students success through work-study

This bill creates a new trust fund and establishes dedicated staff positions to help low-income students succeed in Massachusetts community colleges. It requires Bunker Hill Community College to hire education opportunity coordinators who will assist eligible students with career planning, financial aid, and accessing work-study jobs. The legislation also mandates annual reporting on student enrollment, success rates, and employment outcomes to track the program's effectiveness. Additionally, the bill directs state agencies to connect individuals receiving cash assistance with these new support services to improve their long-term career prospects.
