Press release from the Town of Bedford: November 16, 2020 We are excited to announce that the new B2 LIFE Job Training Program is accepting new applicants that are residents of the Towns of Burlington and Bedford. In partnership with MassHire, the job training program is focused on training for employment in the high demand industries of life science and health care. Eligibility is based on household income, individual's educational goals, and is being offered to residents of Burlington and Bedford. The program's goal is to help residents that have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic whether through loss of a job or reduced hours. The proposed program would invest in our residents, expand our regional workforce, and strengthen the state's healthcare and life science cluster. The program is flexible to the needs of residents' individual career goals and availability. For more information and to apply to the program, please see the MassHire dedicated website here https://masshiremetronorth.org/programs/#lifesciences. Funding for the program was provided by a $321,578 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) to create a dedicated job training program for healthcare and life sciences.
