Employer Resource: A Guide to Job Training Grants

To help employers and workforce professionals navigate the workforce development system, TRWIB is pleased to offer a new guide that outlines available funding – job training grants - from multiple state agencies.

It includes contact information, brief descriptions of training programs as well as specific grant restrictions, requirements and standards.

Programs are offered by a variety of state agencies including: Pennsylvania’s Departments of Labor & Industry (L&I), the Department of Public Welfare (DPW), and the Department of Community and Economic Development.
 

We invite you to view the TRWIB Aging Resource Toolkit. Let’s work together to define best practices that will help us retain and develop the next workforce.

As a follow-up to our study with Carnegie Mellon University’s Center for Economic Development, "Managing The Changing Workforce in Southwestern Pennsylvania," TRWIB has examined how changing demographics may shape the region’s workforce composition and growth potential. Along with a series of roundtable discussions about this issue, TRWIB hosted a forum on October 19, 2007 for employers, workforce specialists, and policy makers to delve further into employer best practices to address the shifting demographics of southwestern PA.

The Aging Resource Toolkit represents one finished product of our work on this crucial issue.
