We are so excited to share that this week ArLab was recognized by MassEcon, a non-profit alliance of private and public sector partners that champions Massachusetts as the best place for businesses to start and grow. ArLab was among nine organizations MassEcon recognized at its annual event, with featured keynote speaker Yvonne Hao, Secretary of the Executive Office of Economic Development. ?? To bridge the gaps that exist in workforce system and the job market, JVS Boston and Quincy College opened ArLab, a state-of-the-art healthcare and biotechnology career institute, providing hands-on skill development that equips people for careers in healthcare and biotechnology. There is a critical shortage of workers in these sectors, so preparing people to get jobs through education, skills development, and job training is more relevant than ever. ArLab primarily focuses on job training, educational pathways, and creating entry points by preparing students through instruction, experiential learning, and simulated training. Since the doors opened last year, ArLab has made an enormous impact on the lives of the nearly 500 students who enrolled. The extensive, relevant preparation every student — most coming from underrepresented and underserved groups — receives provides every student with practical knowledge and skills, so they can enter the workforce right away and earn well beyond the state’s minimum wage. ?? ArLab is a testament to Quincy College and JVS Boston’s deep commitment to economic opportunity. For decades, JVS Boston and Quincy College have partnered to create career paths for people who face barriers to employment. This distinct partnership of higher education, workforce development, public sector partners, and employers makes ArLab one-of-a-kind, and we deeply appreciate this recognition by MassEcon.

I am grateful to share the wonderful news that our ArLab collaboration with Quincy College has been selected by the MassEcon as one of its nine honored companies that have launched in the Commonwealth in the past year. As the leader of an 86-year-old organization (JVS Boston) that’s partnered with a 66-year-old organization (Quincy College), it’s especially exciting to be celebrating the birthday of an amazing one-year-old: ArLab, a state-of-the-art career institute that is giving hundreds of people real-world, hands-on skill development for careers in healthcare and biotechnology. As always, Secretary of Economic Development Yvonne Hao was such an inspiring, energizing speaker at the MassEcon event—what a fantastic partner she is to JVS Boston and the whole workforce development sector. Thank you, MassEcon, for your recognition of everyone who is making ArLab such a big and growing success. A special thank you to Susan Houston for the encouragement and support.
