Driving Economic GrowthThrough Workforce Innovation.

As one of sixteen local Workforce Development Boards established in Massachusetts by the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 and the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) of 2014, the MassHire Franklin Hampshire Workforce Board was formed to set local workforce policy, determine how state and federal funds are best used for workforce development, align the needs of employers to the needs of area residents, leverage partnerships to meet the region’s workforce needs, and work alongside the MassHire Franklin Hampshire Career Center where both job search and employer services are provided.

We are the local Workforce Development Board, designated by the Cities of Greenfield and Northampton and the MassHire Department of Career Services.
