Career Ready PA Stakeholder Forum - Region 8

The Pennsylvania Department of Education is pleased to announce the Career Ready PA Stakeholder Forum:  Partnerships and Career Pathways.  The forums will be held at 10 postsecondary institutions in each of the 10 Career Ready PA statewide regions and will focus on strengthening partnerships to advance career pathways for learners.  Guests will include regional stakeholders from the education community, advocacy and non-profit sectors, trade and labor organizations, STEM Ecosystems, workforce development representatives, employers, military, and state and local governments, including libraries. 

Educators will have the opportunity to network with new and existing stakeholders to increase resources and opportunities for student career exploration and work-based learning.  In breakout sessions, stakeholders and educators will identify education and workforce priorities for each region to share at the upcoming Career Ready PA State Coalition statewide meeting (TBD).
