Pennsylvania is home to a growing number of career-oriented, well-
paying
occupations that offer diverse and numerous opportunities.

landing a first job, wanting to advance in your current career or
looking to
make a change, these Careers in Demand offer something for
everyone.

To compete in today's global economy, businesses need a skilled
workforce
and our citizens need increasingly advanced training and
knowledge. In the
past, many workforce education and training programs were not
aligned with
skill needs and job openings in our economy. Pennsylvania's new
workforce
development strategy seeks to change that by targeting education
and
training dollars to High Priority Occupations: job categories
that are in
demand by employers, have higher skill needs and are most likely
to provide
family-sustaining wages.

This is a great resource to investigate careers, colleges,
education
requirements, salaries and other useful information for career
planning. See
