Public Policy Advocacy › Workforce Solutions Group

The Workforce Solutions Group is the SkillWorks public policy advocacy grantee. As such, WSG advocates for an effective workforce development system that increases workers’ skills, advances families to self-sufficiency and promotes job creation and economic growth.

The Workforce Solutions Group is a coalition led by the Massachusetts Workforce Board Association, the Massachusetts AFL-CIO, the Crittenton Women’s Union, and the Mass Communities Action Network, Mass Business Roundtable, the Center for Labor Market Studies and the Workforce Investment Association of Mass.

This broad coalition of workforce development organizations is dedicated to improving and reforming the Massachusetts workforce development system. Our unique strength is that we bring together a diverse range of employers, unions, education and training providers, community colleges, immigrant advocates, workforce investment boards, and interfaith organizations united by their common interest in having a strong and effective workforce development system.
