To encourage the shared prosperity of all Pennsylvanians by supporting good stewardship and sustainable development initiatives across our commonwealth.
The Manufacturing PA Training-to-Career Grant program, aligning with Governor Wolf’s Jobs that Pay Initiative, supports Pennsylvania’s manufacturing sector by funding projects that offer short-term work-readiness, entry-level job placement, or industry advancement. Unlike existing programs, this grant is for companies to identify and train skilled workers for current or upcoming positions, engage youth or those with employment barriers in manufacturing career opportunities, and increase the capacity of local or regional manufacturers. Grant funds may cover professional services, internships, equipment, modifications, development, marketing, domestic travel, and personnel costs.
While matching funds are not mandatory, submissions that feature matching funds, including both cash and in-kind contributions, will receive preferential consideration.
