Manufacturing Training and Industry Awareness Grants
The Manufacturing PA Training-to-Career Grant Program supports new and innovative training programs focusing on developing the skill sets of entry-level workers to better meet the needs of manufacturers with job openings. By collaboratively working with local manufacturers, the program works to identify and teach essential skills for existing and/or future workers, engage youth, and build awareness of the career opportunities that exist in the manufacturing industry.
