Attend HR Connect Without Touching Your Training Budget (Webinar)

July 7 @ 11:30 am - July 7 @ 12:00 pm

Free

Want to attend EANE’s HR Connect Conference this fall, but worried about the cost?   We have some exciting news to share, our HR CONNECT 2026 Conference has been approved for the Massachusetts Express Program!

You may be able to attend for little to no out-of-pocket expense through the Massachusetts Express Training Grant and we’re going to show you how. Because your company is listed as having 100 or fewer employees, your team may be eligible to attend at no cost to your company, thanks to the program’s reimbursement funding.

Join us on July 7 at 11:30 AM for a FREE 30-minute webinar where we’ll walk you through the application process, explain what documentation you’ll need, and help you determine whether your organization is eligible for funding.

In just 30 minutes, you’ll learn:

• How the MA Express Training Grant works
• Whether HR Connect Conference registration may be covered
• What documents you’ll need to apply
• How to avoid common application mistakes
• How to maximize available grant funding for your team

If your organization qualifies, the grant will cover the cost of conference attendance. Plus, you can use this process for other workforce development opportunities throughout the year.

Don’t let budget constraints keep you from attending one of New England’s premier HR events. Spend 30 minutes with us and find out whether state funding can help make HR Connect possible for you and your team.

Eligibility requirements apply. Qualification details are listed below and complete program information is available through Commonwealth Corporation.
