Leverage the Massachusetts Workforce Training Fund (WTFP) to Upskill Your Team
Are you looking to invest in your current workforce to boost productivity and competitiveness? Is your Massachusetts-based business struggling to find skilled employees? The Massachusetts Workforce Training Fund (WTFP) Express Grant can help by reimbursing you for McDougall Interactive Digital Marketing Training.
We can apply on your behalf, and almost everyone will win the grant. If you don’t win, you won’t pay anything, and if you win, you can take our courses after you get verification that you have won the grant and will be paid back in full.
There is no risk; this is an opportunity to leverage 29 years of our agency’s SEO and digital marketing knowledge.
It could cost you a fortune if you have staff or marketing staff that need to be more profoundly effective at these skills. With our training, even your junior staff can become secret digital marketing weapons to beat your competition.
