BOSTON – Senator Michael O. Moore (D-Millbury) and Representative Paul K. Frost (R-Auburn) announced that the Massachusetts Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development recently awarded Micorp a business development grant through the Workforce Training Fund General Program.
The Training Fund is an initiative designed to aid productivity and competitiveness by investing in the improvement of employee skills at businesses throughout the Commonwealth. Micorp, New England’s largest automotive restyler and expediter, was awarded $80,000 to train 68 workers.
