Support Career Exploration in Local Schools

Workforce Solutions for North Central PA is building a regional resource called Business Education Connect to help schools connect with businesses that are willing to support career awareness and exploration activities like career fairs, job shadowing, mock interviews, classroom presentations, and more. Your participation will help educators and students learn about local employers and build stronger school-business partnerships across our six-county region. This information will also become part of a new online career exploration tool that showcases regional industries and businesses, and helps students, job seekers, and community members explore careers and growth pathways in our area.
