In August, the ABCD operated MassHire Metro North Career Centers (MNCC) won the Jobs for Veterans State Grants Program (JVSG) Bronze Award. In addition to the recognition, the award comes with a cash prize which will be spent on adding capacity to serve Veterans. Each year, the Massachusetts Department of Career Services recognizes great work within the field including the JVSG. On July 1, 2020, ABCD won a four-year contract to operate the MNCC.
