Advance Central PA
Our VISION is to be recognized as the premiere agency for workforce development strategies and activities and to build the capacity of the workforce system through systematic change, integration of resources and continuous improvement in Central Pennsylvania.
The Workforce Investment Act of 1998 and now the Workforce Innovation and Opportunities Act of 2014 (WIOA) provides federal funding for workforce development nationwide. Under WIOA, Pennsylvania’s Governor designates local workforce development areas, each of which has a Workforce Development Board (WDB) that oversees the public workforce system.
