MassHire seeks $200,000 in ARPA funds for Lawrence AI training pilot; committee tables request MassHire’s Merrimack Valley workforce board asked for $200,000 from a city ARPA/free-cash allocation to pilot AI workforce training for Lawrence youth, targeting about 50 students. Councilors welcomed the idea but requested curriculum details, RFP criteria, recruitment procedures, measurable outcomes and clarity about the ARPA fund provenance; the committee voted to table the request pending more information.

A bold new initiative aims to empower Lawrence youth with AI workforce training, but councilors are holding back approval until key details are revealed.
