The Patrick-Murray Administration, the Executive Office for
Administration
and Finance (ANF) and the Department of Elementary and
Secondary Education
(DESE) proudly announce the establishment of the
Vocational Program Equipment
Grant. This program will expand upon the
Patrick-Murray Administration’s
continuous support of strong
vocational-technical programs that prepare and
connect students with
jobs in high growth sectors and their continuing
education.
Attached to this email are the grant application and
guidelines. The
documents will also be available shortly on ANF's
website
(http://www.mass.gov/ANF)
The purpose of the program is
to allow for the upgrading and
purchasing of equipment to support and expand
vocational and career
readiness programs across the Commonwealth while
encouraging
partnerships between these schools, the community college system
and
business and industry. This is a new opportunity that is funded at
$1
million each year for five years through the Commonwealth's
capital
plan.

program, an
