WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT RESOURCESIn 1998 the federal government passed the Workforce Investment Act which restructured the governance and delivery of publicly-funded workforce development activities throughout the United States. In the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania this legislation has led to the development of CareerLink sites and Workforce Investment Boards, each of which represents a potential workforce development resource to our industry.
In Pennsylvania, under the leadership of the PA Department of Labor and Industry, this transformation has led to the creation of over 30 CareerLink sites serving all of the Commonwealth’s 67 counties. CareerLink sites provide one-stop, comprehensive services to employers seeking workers and job seekers seeking employment. We encourage you to consider utilizing this resource as part of your overall human resources planning and recruitment strategy.
The Commonwealth has delineated 23 Workforce Investment Area’s, each of which has created a public/private partnership Workforce Investment Board to plan and oversee the area’s workforce development activity. Click here for The Workforce Investment Area contact information
