The Dedham Savings Community Foundation has made a grant to the WeReach workforce development program. Funds will be used to purchase laptops and tablets for workforce training programs. This high-quality technology hardware will benefit low-income and immigrant participants, enabling them to complete certification modules, job readiness activities, and entrepreneurship coursework. The devices are essential to the success of the WeReach hybrid training model and will enhance the long-term infrastructure of certification programs.
