Jobs

Build Massachusetts' biotech, healthcare, robotics, hardware, energy, and frontier industries as one growth priority. Turn local research into medicines, devices, diagnostics, robots, chips, energy systems, and production lines. Keep the labs, factories, supply chains, and careers here.

Invite hospital systems, life-sciences companies, hardware founders, manufacturers, and qualified energy developers to expand here. Connect industrial sites, reliable power, shared equipment, and first-customer opportunities with training designed around real employer demand. Include smaller suppliers and careers in care, skilled trades, operations, engineering, and research.

Build the workforce and supply chains for fusion, grid hardware, geothermal, storage, quantum computing and sensing, and advanced materials. Quantum isn't a source of electricity; it's part of the instruments, computation, and physical systems we can build. Tie public support to facilities opened, apprentices hired, sustained jobs, wages, and products made here.

Create 100 maker spaces throughout the state, entirely subsidized and free for citizens. Make them real places where people meet experienced builders, learn with their hands, and build robots, hardware, software, and the things they've always wanted to make. Put workforce retraining at the center of the Jobs plan.

Provide shared tools, prototyping equipment, computers, materials for training projects, and instructors. Teach fabrication, electronics, robotics, coding, and how hardware and software work together. Offer supervised equipment training, accessible facilities, and evening and weekend hours so people can learn while working or raising a family.

Connect the spaces to employers, community colleges, unions, and local builders for practical projects, paid apprenticeships, and on-the-job training in hardware and software. Reuse suitable workshops and buildings where possible. Publish a statewide plan for all 100 locations, their staffing and operating costs, and access across all 14 counties. Fund the spaces so learning and retraining stay free for citizens.

Provide citizens free access to AI tools, including coding tools like Claude Code, Codex, and others. Fund licenses and usage so the price of a tool doesn't decide who gets to learn or build. Offer access at home and through the maker spaces, libraries, and training partners.

Pair the tools with practical instruction. Help people build their first app, write software for a robot, improve a local business, and turn an idea into a working product. Teach them to test what they build, check AI output, and protect personal and business information.

Negotiate competitive access across providers and publish the cost, usage allowances, and training outcomes. Keep room for new tools as they improve. These are proposed publicly funded programs; named products are examples, not announced vendor agreements.
