Greetings!

In recognition of National Apprenticeship Week, HACC, Central Pennsylvania’s Community College, is proud to partner with local industry leaders to provide pre-apprenticeships and apprenticeships to Central Pennsylvania’s workforce.

With an aging, retiring workforce and no dedicated pipeline of “ready-to-work” individuals, manufacturers in Central Pennsylvania and across the country are realizing there will likely be approximately 2.4 million jobs that remain unfilled over the next decade. HACC is innovating to provide ways to fill that skills gap before jobs leave our region.

Did you know?

• HACC is proud to be the first community college in Pennsylvania to provide an apprenticeship program in advanced manufacturing.
• Last year, HACC worked with nearly 500 local employers to upskill their employees.
• HACC students participate in apprenticeships, internships and externships that set them up for career success.

When partnering with business to improve our community’s workforce, HACC is not your typical higher education institution. HACC offers a variety of options for training employees:

• Noncredit programs that can prepare employees with updated skills
• Customized training for employers on campus or onsite in areas such as project management, supervision, public safety, health care, hospitality and manufacturing
• Partnerships for pre-apprenticeships and apprenticeships

For more information on HACC’s workforce development and partnership opportunities, please visit the workforce and continuing education section of hacc.edu or contact Vic Rodgers, associate provost of workforce development at HACC, at vrodgers@hacc.edu.

Thank you!
