The Westmoreland-Fayette Workforce Investment Board, as part of its plan for use of Recovery Funds, is supporting short-term skills training in High Priority Occupations which will lead to higher academic credentials. This effort, directed at dislocated workers and under-employed workers, is known as the “Back to Work” program. There are a number of occupations that qualify as a High Priority Occupation in various industries including advanced manufacturing, business and health care.

The Back to Work program is available to residents of Fayette and Westmoreland counties. For those who meet eligibility requirements, the program will cover tuition, fees and supplies.

Information about the Back to Work program is available at any the four PA CareerLinks serving Fayette and Westmoreland counties. Following is contact information for all four sites.
