Industry
Partnerships are the cornerstones of Pennsylvania's
new, industry-led, demand-driven workforce development
strategy. This new strategy is focused on creating
a skilled workforce through industry-specific training
and education programs developed in cooperation with
business and industry leaders - with funding made
possible through the support of the Pennsylvania General
Assembly.
Industry Partnerships bring together multiple employers
in the same industry group or cluster to identify
and address common workforce needs. These partnerships
provide companies with a more cost-effective way to
provide training to their employees - training they
may not otherwise be able to afford on their own.
In addition, Industry Partnerships provide companies
with access to region- and industry-specific labor
market information, and allow even the smallest businesses
to better compete in the global marketplace.
