Harrisburg, PA – With historic investments in workforce development programs, Pennsylvania’s new bipartisan budget builds on Governor Josh Shapiro’s pledge to expand job-training, vo-tech, and apprenticeship programs and give Pennsylvanians the freedom to chart their own course and the opportunity to succeed. As Governor Shapiro has highlighted in recent weeks, Pennsylvania has a historic opportunity to take advantage of federal funding and complete major infrastructure projects, but the Commonwealth needs the workforce to do that work – and these key investments will help train the next generation of highly skilled workers.

“This is a critical moment in the history of Pennsylvania labor, as we adjust to an economy with unprecedented competition for skilled workers. Governor Shapiro proposed and signed a budget that reflects this Administration’s commitment to investments that prepare workers for good jobs and incentivize employers to find new ways to access the talent they need to succeed,” Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry (L&I) Secretary Nancy A. Walker said. “I look forward to working with legislators, employers and community leaders all over the Commonwealth to build talent pipelines that make sense in 2023 and beyond. Through alternative pathways to family-sustaining employment, like registered apprenticeship programs, we are creating generational change for Pennsylvania families.” 

Building off the Governor’s Executive Order announcing that 92 percent of state government jobs are open to Pennsylvanians without college degrees, this budget includes a $23.5 million investment in workforce training and vo-tech programs as proposed by the Shapiro Administration; a $6 million investment in apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship programming that will lead to family-sustaining wages; and $3.5 million in funding for L&I’s Schools-to-Work Program to develop and expand career pathways for high school students via partnerships between schools, employers, organizations, and the Commonwealth.

Here’s what workforce development advocates and organized labor leaders are saying:
