ABOUT THE MASSACHUSETTS TECHNOLOGY COLLABORATIVE :

As a unique public agency, the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative (MassTech) supports the business formation and growth in the state’s technology sector, helping Massachusetts lead the global digital economy. The Massachusetts Broadband Institute (MBI) is a division of MassTech and serves as the central broadband office for the state.

WHY JOIN OUR TEAM :

Join our team of dedicated professionals to help drive our mission and make a meaningful impact in the communities we serve.

MBI is leading the charge to achieve the vision of closing the digital divide, and we are looking for people with the dedication and passion to make this vision a reality.

In Massachusetts, over 98% of people have access to broadband, ranking 5th in the U.S. However, there is still mission-critical work to be done to close remaining gaps, address affordability, and expand access to internet-connected devices and digital literacy training.

The MBI team is committed to bringing Internet for All to the Commonwealth. This is a unique opportunity to join a collaborative team, work on a highly visible economic development priority, and make an impact in the world while building project and program management skills.
