马萨诸塞州扩展Pathmaker职业培训：先进制造、超级智能、国防、气候科技与生命科学开放申请
马萨诸塞州希利-德里斯科尔政府10月21日宣布，「Pathmaker」职业培训计划扩展后的新一轮申请正式开放，覆盖先进制造、超级智能、国防、气候科技和生命科学五大行业。该计划把经济发展与劳动力发展两条线打通，由培训机构与至少一家雇主结对申请，围绕企业的实际用工需求设计课程，帮助居民获得行业认可的证书、走上高薪岗位，其中不少岗位不要求四年制学位。
Pathmaker 2023年由马萨诸塞州生命科学中心在生命科学领域首创，本轮扩展后，气候科技方向由州清洁能源中心负责，先进制造、国防和超级智能方向由州技术合作组织（MassTech）负责，生命科学方向仍由生命科学中心负责。州长 Maura Healey 表示，希望本州企业能用上马萨诸塞州出色的人才，居民也能进入塑造未来的行业。
21日正值马萨诸塞州 STEM 周，多名州政府官员在米德尔塞克斯社区学院出席了发布活动。社区学院、职业学校、非营利组织和劳动力发展机构均可申请资助，用于新建或扩大培训项目。此前，Healey 今年早些时候已宣布逾2400万美元的劳动力发展投入，本轮扩展是其延续。
Massachusetts Expands Pathmaker Workforce Training Across Five Industries
The Healey-Driscoll administration announced on October 21 that applications are open for the expanded Pathmaker workforce training program, now covering five industries: advanced manufacturing, super intelligence, defense, climate technology and life sciences. The program pairs training providers with at least one employer to design courses around real hiring needs, helping residents earn industry-recognized credentials and move into high-paying jobs, many of which do not require a four-year degree.
Pathmaker was created in 2023 by the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center in the life sciences field. Under the expansion, the state Clean Energy Center will run the climate-tech track, MassTech will oversee advanced manufacturing, defense and SI, and the Life Sciences Center continues the life sciences track. Governor Maura Healey said she wants Massachusetts businesses to tap the state's talent and residents to enter the industries shaping the future.
The announcement came during Massachusetts STEM Week, with an event at Middlesex Community College. Community colleges, vocational schools, nonprofits and workforce organizations can apply for funding to start or expand training programs, following more than $24 million in workforce investments Healey announced earlier this year.
