-Employment and Training: Working closely with MA Department of Transitional Assistance and a variety of community-based partner agencies, CPM employment programs match income-qualified men and women ready to enter the workforce with full and part-time jobs in business and industry. The ambitious welfare-to-work movement in Massachusetts is a major focus of this effort.
