Appendix J_current equipment.docx

This document is an appendix to the "Skill Up: Career, Technical and Workforce Training and Employment Services" Request for Responses (RFR) issued by the Massachusetts Department of Youth Services. The appendix outlines the current regional equipment being used for programming that the RFR seeks to maintain and leverage, including culinary equipment, a silkscreen shop, greenhouse, wood shop, and secure facilities located across multiple cities in Massachusetts.

The RFR aims to fund new and innovative programming statewide while continuing to utilize this existing equipment. It does not provide details on pricing, set-asides, funding sources, or other contractual terms. The RFR is seeking proposals from a range of organizations, including vocational and higher education institutions, unions, businesses, and nonprofit/community-based groups, to provide high-quality career, technical, workforce training, and employment programs and services for DYS youth in residential and community settings.
