We are thrilled to celebrate the success of today's Healthcare Careers & Apprenticeships Expo, where we welcomed more than 40 vendors and students from more than 35 schools eager to explore opportunities in the healthcare industry. We are honored by the visit of Secretary of Labor & Industry Nancy A. Walker and Senator Wayne Fontana, whose presence underscored the critical role of strengthening the Commonwealth's healthcare workforce for the future.
A big thank you to Dollar Bank and UPMC for sponsoring this event. The turnout exceeded expectations, with students engaging in hands-on activities and learning about future career paths in healthcare. It was inspiring to see the interactions between vendors and attendees, creating meaningful connections that we hope will spark future careers.
This event wouldn’t have been possible without our partners at Southwest Corner Workforce Development Board who helped us plan, engaged their student and employer networks, and supported the event.
Collaboration strengthens our region's workforce--today's event is proof! Thank you to all our vendors and participants for making this day a success!
