Mission: To coordinate a consolidated and integrated youth employment network that matches employees with qualified youth workers.
The Three Rivers Workforce
Investment Board (TRWIB) is involved in several
initiatives designed to prepare youth for success
in the workplace.
The TRWIB
works with local schools to prepare youth
for success in the workplace through an initiative
called Educators and
Employers Engaged for Excellence (E4).
Underwritten by a grant from the Pennsylvania
Department of Labor and Industry, E4 provides
support and assistance to foster partnerships
between educators and employers.
The TRWIB
has articulated work
ready competencies [PDF] associated with entry-level positions in our region and is working with youth service providers to incorporate these competencies into their training programs. This document includes complete work ready competencies with cross-walk to other relevant work readiness standards.
Previously, TRIWB produced an electronic publication called
Front Liner to support local youth employment and training providers.
The TRWIB
oversees the local network of PA
CareerLink centers that serve jobseekers,
including youth.
The TRWIB
works with the City of Pittsburgh and Allegheny
County to procure employment and training
services for WIA-eligible youth. Download a complete list of youth programs by clicking on the above links.
The TRWIB
was instrumental in launching and continues
to support the Regional
Internship Center (RIC) of Southwestern Pennsylvania.
Operated by the Coro Center for Civic Leadership,
the RIC works with employers to develop programs
and connect them with potential interns from
colleges and universities across the region.
