Northern Pennsylvania Regional College (NPRC) partnered with several organizations including the Greater Erie Community Action Committee (GECAC), Northwest Industrial Resource Center (NWRC), Erie Together, and NWPA Job Connect to participate in the Erie Regional Manufacturer Partnership’s (ERMP) recent WorkAdvance program. WorkAdvance is a multifaceted program that offers foundational career coaching, skill training, and employment placement assistance – specifically in the manufacturing industry. The WorkAdvance program received funding this past October when the City of Erie awarded $25,000 to the program as part of its business development assistance program, the Commodore Fund.
The WorkAdvance program is appealing to both employers and future employees. The program transforms the unemployed and underemployed into highly trained and credentialed workers, providing them better opportunities.
