Pennsylvania continues to build on its nationally recognized model for building industry partnerships to accelerate workforce development.
Since 2005, Pennsylvania’s Industry Partnerships have engaged over 6,300 employers and 117,000 workers. Last week, the state legislature voted to make the initiative a permanent part of the state’s workforce development strategy.
Funding continues to be a problem. State investment in these partnerships has dropped from $20 million a year in 2008–2009 to only $1.6 million in the current budget. Nevertheless, Pennsylvania has developed an important prototype built in these partnerships across industry clusters. You can learn more about the Pennsylvania Industry Partnership initiative from this page.
