The MBCS is encouraged to see significant investments in skills development, which includes over $29,000,000 to fund line items that will create work-based learning opportunities, support essential skills development, and enhance Career Vocational\/Technical Education (CVTE). The coalition urges the legislature to maintain FY24 level funding for workforce development and to adopt amendments enhancing these items.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Experiential Learning<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Employers embrace experiential learning models because they are proven ways to strengthen both essential and job-specific skills. Models like learn to earn and apprenticeships benefit employees who develop skills in a real work environment. Employers also benefit because they can train employees with the specific skills for their industry or job needs. School-to-career connecting activities are public-private partnerships that provide similar on-the-job learning opportunities for students. The coalition urges maintaining level funding for Learn to Earn (7002-1080), Registered Apprenticeship Expansions (7003-0151), and School-to-Career Connecting Activities to match FY24 funding levels.<\/p>\n  \r\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"585\" height=\"149\" data-src=\"https:\/\/bostonchamber.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/skills-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36791 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/bostonchamber.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/skills-1.png 585w, https:\/\/bostonchamber.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/skills-1-300x76.png 300w, https:\/\/bostonchamber.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/skills-1-150x38.png 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 585px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 585\/149;\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<style>\r\n    .cta-btn-wrapper{margin-bottom:2rem;margin-top:-10px;}\r\n<\/style>\r\n<section class=\"wysiwyg_block\">\r\n    <div class=\"container\">\r\n        <div class=\"row\">\r\n            <div class=\"col-lg-8\">\r\n            \r\n            <h5><strong>Essential Skills Development<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Essential skills, also known as non-technical skills, are critical for career success.
