Commonwealth Corporation has a 25-year history developing and implementing innovative workforce development programs in Massachusetts. The foundation of our work is partnership: bringing the private and public sectors together to create lasting change. Our initiatives benefit both the future and current workforce; improving educational outcomes, increasing opportunities for better jobs and higher wages, and helping businesses gain and maintain a competitive advantage.

Our unique approach brings together research and evaluation, program model development, and sharing our learning for continuous improvement. Our status as a quasi-public and the credibility we have established over the years enable us to leverage significant new resources for Massachusetts from both public and private-sector sources.

Our sector initiatives are enabling workers to move up the career ladder and increase earnings while providing employers with a skilled workforce. Our youth programs are expanding learning and career opportunities for youth. Our research and evaluation is providing the workforce system with the information needed to make evidence-based policy and program decisions.

About Us

At Commonwealth Corporation, our approach to education and workforce development is strategically focused, outcome based, and results driven. We achieve this by understanding and addressing employer needs for a twenty-first century workforce, and people's needs for stronger skills and better jobs. The hallmark of Commonwealth Corporation is a workplace culture that values each employee's unique contribution to the analysis of problems and crafting of unique solutions. We are deeply committed to high standards and rigor, and will be forever seeking new ways to make data useful to our partners.
