The Western Massachusetts Training Consortium is a Ticket to Work Employment provider. The Ticket To Work program signed into law by the President in 1999. The goal of this Program is to: increase the choices of Social Security beneficiaries with disabilities for obtaining employment, vocational rehabilitation, or other support services from public and private providers.

The Ticket Program is voluntary. Beneficiaries receiving Tickets who want more information may contact Oryx Cohen at the The Western Massachusetts Training Consortium at 413-536-2401. We will work with the beneficiary to design an Individual Work Plan that will outline the services to be provided to enable the beneficiary to reach his or her employment goal.
