  1. SCILS Initiative The SCILS Initiative is a collaboration of four workforce regions (Boston, Metro North, Metro South/West, and South Shore) led by the City of Boston. Created in April 2012 by a four year $5 million H1B Technical Skills Training grant from the US Dept. of Labor, it will deliver life science training to 360 participants, help fund 300 internships, and develop the capacity of the regions’ one-stop career centers to better connect MA residents with the life science sector.
