NWPA Job Connect Board Members

 

The NWPA Job Connect Board, the workforce development board in Northwest Pennsylvania, is comprised of members representing business, labor, education, social services, and government agencies throughout Clarion, Crawford, Erie, Forest, Venango, and Warren Counties. Working in cooperation with chambers of commerce, economic development organizations, planning commissions, and others, the Board focuses its development activities on key industry segments that include electronics manufacturing, food processing, construction, health care, metal fabrication, plastics, technology, lumber and hardwoods, oil and gas, transportation, and mining. The Board also administers federal and state funds for programs targeted to adults, dislocated workers, and young people through two PA CareerLink® offices in Erie County and Oil City, as well as mobile and virtual services throughout all six counties.
