A MESSAGE FROM KARA

Moving

opportunity forward, together.

As Executive Director of the MassHire Cape & Islands Workforce Board, I am proud to reflect on another year of meaningful progress, strong partnerships, and continued impact across our region. Our work remains grounded in shared commitment to building a skilled, resilient workforce while creating pathways to opportunity for individuals of all ages.

This year, our youth programming continued to serve as a cornerstone of our efforts – to empower the future workforce. Through initiatives such as ArtWorks, Connecting Activities and YouthWorks, we provided workforce opportunities to over 1,300 students across the Cape & Islands with high-quality, work-based learning experiences. These programs not only connect young people to meaningful employment opportunities, but also equip them with critical professional skills, mentorship, and confidence as they begin to explore career pathways. Celebrating 30 years of ArtWorks was a milestone we honored throughout the year. This anniversary brought into focus the importance of creating hands-on career pathway opportunities for students within the creative economy – an essential and vibrant sector across the Cape & Islands. We were especially proud to have ArtWorks recognized with a MassHire award, affirming the program’s innovation, longevity, and impact. In addition, our team and partners had the opportunity to present on a national stage through the National Association of Workforce Development Professionals (NAWDP), highlighting our best practice model and further elevating the work happening within our region.

In parallel, we have seen significant momentum within our healthcare initiatives. Through targeted training programs and strategic partnerships, we are actively addressing

workforce shortages in this critical sector while creating sustainable career pathways for adults across the region.

Our collaboration with Commonwealth Corporation and local healthcare providers has strengthened access to training, increased programming completions, and supported individuals in securing employment in high-demand roles. This work continues to be a priority as we align workforce development efforts with regional and statewide economic needs.

Our Board of Directors remains a driving force behind our success. This year, we have continued to grow and strengthen board membership, welcoming new voices while maintaining a strong foundation of engaged, dedicated leaders. Through consistent meetings, strategic planning sessions, and our annual retreat, the Board has remained deeply involved in guiding our direction, ensuring accountability, and fostering innovation. Their commitment to collaboration has been instrumental in advancing our mission.

At the core of all we do is partnership. Whether working with educators, employers, communitybased organizations, or state agencies, the strength of our collaborative approach continues to elevate our impact. Together, we are building workforce system that is responsive, inclusive, and forwardlooking.

I am deeply grateful to our Board, our staff, and our many partners for their unwavering dedication and shared vision. As we look ahead, we remain focused on expanding opportunity, strengthening our regional economy, and ensuring that every individual we serve has access to meaningful career pathways.

Sincerely,

A

MESSAGE FROM LINDSAY Connecting education to opportunity.

As Chair of the MassHire Cape & Islands Workforce Board of Directors, I am proud to reflect on another year of meaningful collaboration, innovation, and workforce development across the region and Commonwealth. The continued growth and engagement of our board strengthened our ability to bring together industry leaders, educators, community organizations, and workforce partners to support initiatives that positively impact both our regional economy and the future workforce.

This year, the CIWB continued to focus on career pathway education and career-connected learning experiences that help prepare young adults for long-term success. Through strong partnerships with local school districts, colleges and universities, employers, and training providers, we’re helping create strong connections between education and meaningful careers in key industries across the region.

Healthcare remained a major priority throughout the year as workforce needs across the industry continue to grow. By working closely with regional partners, the CIWB has supported healthcare career pathway initiatives that open doors for individuals to access training, earn credentials, and pursue rewarding careers, while also helping employers address critical staffing needs. These efforts are not only helping meet today’s workforce demands, but also strengthening the long-term economic health of our region and the Commonwealth.

As we look ahead, the board remains committed to thoughtful planning and strong collaboration with partners across the region. The relationships we have built with employers, educators, state agencies, community organizations, and workforce leaders continue to shape and strengthen the work of the CIWB. Together, we are focused on creating innovative workforce solutions, expanding opportunities for individuals to succeed, and ensuring our region is prepared for continued economic growth in the years ahead.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, thank you to our partners, employers, educators, community members, and staff for your continued support, collaboration, and dedication to workforce development across the region.

Sincerely,

YOUTH PROGRAMMING

Where workforce pathways begin.

MassHire Cape and Islands Workforce Board continues to prioritize innovative youth workforce programming through both Connecting Activities and YouthWorks, creating meaningful opportunities for students and young adults to engage in career-connected learning experiences across the region. These programs play a critical role in preparing the future workforce by connecting participants with hands-on internships, mentoring opportunities, and career pathway education that aligns with regional workforce needs.

Through strong collaboration with schools, employers, community partners, and local industries, the CIWB provides young adults with valuable hands-on learning opportunities that help them develop essential professional and transferable skills. Mentoring remains a cornerstone of both programs, as young adults benefit greatly when industry, education, and workforce development partners

intersect to provide meaningful guidance, support, and real-world learning opportunities. Through these collaborative partnerships, young adults gain valuable professional skills, career exposure, and mentorship that help foster confidence, workplace readiness, and long-term career success.

Connecting Activities and YouthWorks continue to support equitable access to high-quality workbased learning opportunities across the region while helping employers engage and mentor the next generation. By investing in career pathway education, internships, and mentoring opportunities the CIWB remains committed to building a strong workforce pipeline that supports both youth development and regional economic growth.

A MESSAGE FROM SAMANTHA Three decades of inspiring possibility.

As Director of Youth Services for the MassHire Cape & Islands Workforce Board, I am proud to recognize and celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the ArtWorks program. Over the past three decades, ArtWorks has remained a meaningful part of youth workforce development across the Cape & Islands, providing students with opportunities to grow creatively, build confidence, and connect with dedicated artist mentors throughout our region.

This milestone anniversary reflects the continued commitment of the many mentors, educators, community partners, families, and supporters who have contributed to the program’s success over the years. Their support has helped ArtWorks evolve into a nationally recognized program that continues to create impactful experiences for young people through creativity, mentorship, and career exploration

This year also marked another exciting achievement for the program, as ArtWorks was honored with a statewide MassHire Business Collaboration Award recognizing the program’s innovation, impact, and longstanding commitment to youth workforce development through strong community partnerships This recognition is a reflection of the incredible collaboration between our mentors, schools, employer partners, staff, and supporters who continue to make ArtWorks possible year after year

As participation in the program continues to grow, so does the impact ArtWorks has on the students it serves Each year, students bring new perspectives, talents, and creativity to the program, reminding us of the importance of investing in opportunities that encourage selfexpression, skill development, and connection I am incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported ArtWorks throughout the past 30 years and helped make this milestone possible Most importantly, congratulations to our students and mentors whose hard work and dedication continue to shape the future of the program and inspire our community.

Sincerely,

Samantha Fonseca

YOUTH PROGRAMMING

Where creativity meets opportunity.

For 30 years, the ArtWorks Program has continued to provide meaningful and accessible career pathway opportunities for young people across the Cape & Islands through the creative economy This year marked another milestone for the program, with participation increasing by more than 50%, demonstrating growing demand for hands-on, mentor-driven, art- and career-connected learning experiences throughout the region ArtWorks continues to create meaningful opportunities for students to work alongside local artists and creative professionals in a wide array of mediums, including drawing and painting, pottery, photography, graphic design, fashion design, jewelry design, culinary arts, music, and stained glass

Through these experiences, students gain transferable workforce skills, confidence, mentorship, and exposure to viable career pathways within the creative economy – an important and growing sector across both our region and the Commonwealth

A cornerstone of the ArtWorks program remains its commitment to accessibility and inclusion The program strives to ensure that students from diverse backgrounds and communities have equitable access to high-quality internships, mentorship opportunities, and career exploration experiences that may otherwise be unavailable to them By reducing barriers to participation, ArtWorks continues to expand opportunities for youth to discover their talents, develop professional skills and envision future career success

This year, ArtWorks was also honored with a statewide MassHire award recognizing the program’s innovation, impact, and longstanding commitment to youth workforce development and the power of collaboration and partnerships. This recognition reflects not only the strength of the program itself, but also the dedication of our staff, mentors, employer partners, and community supporters who continue to make ArtWorks a transformative experience for young people throughout the Cape & Islands.

I am incredibly proud of the work accomplished this year by the MassHire Cape & Islands Workforce Board and its many partners Programs like YouthWorks and ArtWorks are helping young people discover new opportunities and career pathways, while our healthcare training grant is creating meaningful solutions for employers and communities across the Cape and Islands

Building pathways to care

Healthcare HUBS Grant Strengthens Regional Healthcare Workforce Pipeline HEALTHCARE

The Cape & Islands Workforce Board (CIWB) Healthcare Hubs Grant is part of the Massachusetts statewide Healthcare & Behavioral Health HUB initiative funded through Commonwealth Corporation. The initiative was created to address critical shortages in the healthcare workforce by building regional partnerships among workforce boards, healthcare employers, educational institutions, and community organizations.

CIWB’s Healthcare Hubs strategy focuses on expanding access to healthcare career pathways while helping regional employers meet urgent staffing demands. The program supports recruitment, training, credential attainment, and career advancement opportunities for unemployed, underemployed, and incumbent workers pursuing healthcare careers.

Within the Cape & Islands region, the grant has prioritized high-demand occupations, including Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and Practical Nurse training programs, due to significant workforce shortages, an aging population, and high retirement rates among current healthcare workers. CIWB partners with healthcare providers and training institutions to create direct employment pathways and strengthen long-term workforce capacity.

Broad Reach Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Program

The CIWB continued its partnership with Broad Reach Healthcare to support an intensive Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) training program designed to strengthen the region’s healthcare workforce pipeline

Kara O’Donnell-Galvin, Executive Director of CIWB, noted: “Partnerships like this help expand career pathways while supporting the growth of the next generation of compassionate caregivers in our region We are grateful for our continued collaboration with the Broad Reach team”

Upper Cape Tech Practical Nurse Program

The CIWB continues to partner with Upper Cape Tech’s Practical Nurse (PN) Program to support two cohorts of training through an accelerated 40-week program aligned with the Upper Cape Cod Regional Technical School calendar The program prepares students to sit for the NCLEX-PN licensure exam and equips graduates for careers in a wide range of healthcare settings, while also creating pathways into registered nursing programs for those seeking to advance their education and careers.

To ensure accessibility and reduce financial barriers, grant funding provides eligible students with tuition assistance, books, and living-expense stipends. This comprehensive support model helps expand access to healthcare careers while addressing critical workforce shortages across the Cape and Islands region.

These initiatives are not simply filling open positions they are building a stronger and more resilient healthcare workforce for the future. Through strategic partnerships and targeted workforce investments, CIWB is helping cultivate local talent, strengthen healthcare career pathways, and improve access to quality healthcare services throughout the region.

CIWB Healthcare Roundtable

In September, the CIWB hosted the annual Healthcare Roundtable, bringing together local healthcare employers, training providers, workforce development leaders, and state partners to discuss critical challenges and solutions in the healthcare workforce

The keynote speaker, Jay Prosser, DNP, RN, CCRNK, NE-BC, Executive Director of the Nursing Council on Workforce Sustainability (NCWS), highlighted the significant workforce shortages impacting Massachusetts healthcare systems, particularly within nursing. His presentation focused on key challenges, including high turnover and burnout, limited training capacity, workforce experience gaps, and barriers to career advancement.

The discussion also emphasized the critical role Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) play in long-term care, rehabilitation, and community healthcare settings, while noting projections of a nationwide 40% LPN shortage within the next decade.

The roundtable reinforced the urgent need for coordinated workforce strategies across Massachusetts. Participants discussed solutions including nursing apprenticeships, expanded practical nursing education, stronger career pathways, and collaborative partnerships among workforce boards, healthcare employers, educators, and policymakers to strengthen the healthcare workforce pipeline and improve healthcare access statewide.

Our partnership with the CIWB is essential to ensuring that our students graduate with not only technical skills, but also direct connections to meaningful career opportunities By working together, we are aligning education with the real workforce needs of our region and helping build a stronger pipeline of skilled professionals for local employers

Instructor Certification Program in Nonviolent Crisis Intervention

In response to safety concerns identified by healthcare employers and frontline staff, the CIWB hosted an “Instructor Certification Program in Nonviolent Crisis Intervention” from May 12–14, 2026. Led by a certified instructor from the Crisis Prevention Institute (CPI), the training focused on evidence-based de-escalation strategies, including person-centered and trauma-informed approaches designed to help healthcare organizations and schools prevent and safely respond to crisis situations.

The program provided participants with practical tools to identify, prevent, and de-escalate anxious, hostile, or challenging behaviors while promoting safer workplace environments for both staff and patients. Through CPI’s scalable train-the-trainer model, participants gained the skills necessary to deliver organization-wide training and strengthen internal capacity for crisis prevention and intervention.

This initiative reflects CIWB’s ongoing commitment to supporting healthcare employers with responsive workforce training solutions that address emerging workplace challenges, improve employee safety, and enhance the quality of care across the region.
