What it costs
The Massachusetts Workforce Training Fund Express Grant reimburses up to $3,000 per employee per approved course and up to $15,000 per company per year. Most eligible salons & spas in Massachusetts pay tuition upfront, then the Commonwealth reimburses the cost. Read the full Express Grant guide for eligibility rules and the application timeline.
Questions from salons & spas owners
Do booth renters count toward the employee cap?
The grant covers W-2 employees. Booth renters are typically independent contractors and are not eligible for reimbursement, but your W-2 staff and owners on payroll are.
Is this useful if I already use a booking system?
Yes. The training layers AI on top of whatever system you use. The workflows work alongside your existing tools.
How much of my week does the training take?
Courses are live, online and scheduled in short sessions so a working owner can attend between clients.
