Governor Healey Announces MassSkills Coalition, A
New Public-Private Partnership to Promote Skills-Based Hiring
Coalition includes members from government, labor,
business, and academia
BOSTON – Governor Maura T. Healey has announced the formation and launch of the MassSkills Coalition, which aims to bring employers from across industries together to collaborate on strategies to recruit and retain talent. The coalition, launched today at the Massachusetts Business Roundtable’s Board Meeting at TD Garden, builds off the executive order signed by Governor Healey in January instituting skills-based hiring practices for the state’s workforce.
“I
instituted skilled-based hiring across our administration to make sure we have
a strong, diverse workforce and to lower barriers that far too many job
applicants face. I also called on the business community to join us in these
efforts, and the MassSkills Coalition will put that commitment to work,” said Governor
Healey. “Massachusetts is home to an incredible business community, world
leading educational institutions, and strong labor unions – and this coalition
will bring these groups together to collaborate on how we can make
Massachusetts more affordable, competitive and equitable.”
“Our
Executive Order was a significant step to lower barriers to entry, and the
MassSkills Coalition will take this to the next level by creating a space to
share our experience with the business community and show our workforce that
their skills, knowledge, and experience matter,” said Lieutenant Governor
Kim Driscoll. “We look forward to seeing the incredible impact the
MassSkills Coalition will have for our economy and showing the nation how
Massachusetts businesses, workers, academia, and government work together to
strengthen the state.”
“The MassSkills Coalition cultivates a community of partners, embracing
skills-based hiring and leveraging skills, knowledge, and abilities to attract,
retain, and develop a growing workforce,” said Secretary of Labor and
Workforce Development Lauren Jones. “I look forward to teaming up with my
fellow co-chairs of the MassSkills Coalition to build a community and resources
for employers, workers, and jobseekers.”
The
Coalition will be co-chaired by Lauren Jones, Secretary of Labor and Workforce
Development; Tonja Mettlach, Executive Vice President at the Massachusetts
Business Roundtable; Jerry Rubin, Eastern Bank Foundation and Harvard Fellow;
and Chrissy Lynch, President, Massachusetts AFL-CIO. A full list of founding
members can be found here.
The
Coalition will provide employers, business groups, and supportive partners
with:
·
A learning community to assist employers in strengthening a
skills-based hiring agenda to emphasize skills, knowledge, and abilities.
·
Best practices shared among employers to sustain and
strengthen effective diversity, equity, inclusivity, and accessibility (DEIA)
workplace cultures.
·
Resources and data to support talent attraction and
retention, which will be housed by EOLWD at www.mass.gov, and focus
especially on skills-based hiring, including but not limited to:
o
Rethinking how companies source talent;
o
Re-writing job descriptions;
o
Reviewing existing assessment tools and adopting new
interview processes;
o
Rethinking which jobs require degrees;
o
Developing and publishing transparent job advancement
pathways;
o
Strengthening supportive work environments;
o
Creating new training modules; and
o
Recognizing and rewarding employees that earn credentials
or certifications.
Additionally,
the MassSkills Coalition may form various working groups, which will be co-led
by the Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development, employers, and
business associations.
