Workforce Equity Programs | MassCEC Workforce Equity Programs MassCEC is working to equitably bring the benefits of clean energy jobs to our Commonwealth’s diverse populations. The Massachusetts clean energy workforce needs to grow by 34%, or more than 34,000 workers by 2030 to meet the state’s aggressive decarbonization goals. Many of these jobs will be living-wage jobs.
As gaps in the workforce for climate-critical sectors grow, engaging underrepresented populations will be crucial, not just for equity, but also to ensure that the Commonwealth has the workforce needed to meet clean energy goals. MassCEC deploys over $12 million in funding annually for Workforce Equity programming to support training and business development opportunities for underrepresented populations.
Equity Workforce Training Grants Go to Funding Opportunity Climate-Critical Underrepresented Business Support Grants MassCEC supports organizations that assist Massachusetts-based Minority- and Women-Owned Businesses (MWBEs) and other underrepresented businesses in their creation, entry, or expansion into fields that are critical to meeting the Commonwealth's climate goals.
Historically, underrepresented businesses have faced systemic barriers resulting in limited access to capital, procurement and workforce challenges, and insufficient networks. Addressing these challenges is essential to ensuring underrepresented businesses can participate meaningfully in Massachusetts’ growing clean-energy economy.
Through its Climate-Critical Underrepresented Business Support (CUBS) Grants, MassCEC provides up to $800,000 in grant funding and technical support to jumpstart the development of a regional “Hub and Spoke” support system.
This approach will provide uniform services through regional “Hubs,” while “Spoke” partners will offer complementary or additional services to further help underrepresented businesses enter and expand in climate-critical fields. On August 29, 2023, the Healey-Driscoll administration announced over $18 million in funding to Equity Workforce Training, Minority- and Women-Owned Business Enterprise, and Offshore Wind Works grants.
On Sept 23, 2022, the Baker-Polito Administration announced $3. 6M in funding to equity workforce training and Minority- and Women-Owned Business Enterprises in climate-critical fields! Equity Workforce Planning and Capacity Grants Applicants to the Implementation Grants and MWBE Support Grants that are not at the stage of implementation may be instead eligible for planning and capacity grants.
Applicants may apply for $20,000 to $150,000 in funding for work completed over six months to two years. MassCEC will support organizations that have a strong vision of workforce training or MWBE support that need additional resources and time to develop partnerships, leverage other funding and resources, and prepare for implementation.

On July 8, 2026, the Massachusetts Clean Water Trust approved $244,598,804 in new grants and low-interest loans for water and sewer projects. It is one example of a national machine — the Clean Water and Drinking Water State Revolving Funds — that moves billions each year through the states, not through Grants.gov. Here is how the SRF actually works, why the 'loan' framing hides real grant dollars, who is eligible, and how municipalities and utilities should compete for lead-service-line, PFAS, and stormwater money.
