Medford Business Awarded Grant To Train 200 Workers, Add 20 More

MEDFORD, MA — The Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development has awarded Medford-based company BOND a $243,600 training grant. The grant from the Workforce Training Fund will allow BOND to train 201 workers and add 20 jobs by 2021.

"Awarding this grant to a Medford company gives Medford residents the advantage of being trained by a well-known company, close to home. BOND trains men and women on everything from construction to restoration," Mayor Stephanie M. Burke said in a statement.

The Workforce Training grant is funded by contributions made by employers to unemployment insurance. Robert Murray, president of BOND Brothers Inc., said his company is "honored" to receive the grant.

"The hardworking people of Massachusetts are the foundation of a resilient and thriving
economy, and this program is an ongoing investment in our people and our businesses
to bolster that foundation," Gov. Charlie Baker said in a statement.
