Massachusetts's ET differs from other state programs of its kind by emphasizing client choice; receiving most of its funding from the state rather than the federal government; contracting with nongovernment groups for employment, training, and education services; and using an intensive marketing effort aimed at potential participants, employers, and government agency welfare staff.
