Dorchester Bay’s Workforce Development team creates pathways for our community to thrive in the clean energy economy.
✅ We secured a MA Clean Energy Center Planning grant to design a training program built for our community.
✅ We joined the Coalition for CORI Climate Inclusion to give MA`s 1.7 million CORI-impacted residents a clear path to the green jobs pipeline.
Join us in ensuring that MA`s clean energy transition includes everyone.
