Governor Tom Corbett recently announced a significant workforce training milestone for the Commonwealth. The Workforce and Economic Development Network of Pennsylvania (WEDnetPA) will soon invest in its one-millionth trainee in Pennsylvania.
“Pennsylvania’s WEDnet training program provides a unique and exciting opportunity for Millersville University to fund, identify and customize training that will improve our workforce partners’ output, identify and fill skill gaps, as well as improve organizational and employee performance. Millersville University is very proud to be part of the WEDnet network,” said Jacquelyn Alling, the director of Corporate University at Millersville.
Funded through the Department of Community and Economic Development, WEDnetPA is a unique partnership of community colleges, state system universities, including Millersville University, and other educational institutions that was created to deliver the Commonwealth’s Guaranteed Free Training program. As Pennsylvania’s premier incumbent worker training initiative, WEDnetPA has helped 17,000 manufacturers and technology-based businesses to improve their employees’ skills and strengthen their competitive positions.
As a WEDnetPA partner, Millersville works with local companies to assess their training needs, develop training plans, submit funding applications and find qualified training providers. We assist companies each step of the way to ensure they receive training outcomes that have a real and positive impact.
