Monique Yost of Partner4Work and Director of Strategic Initiatives Nicole Mannino Johnson attend the Tri-State Apprenticeship Summit.
Chief Program Officer Lori Como and Director of Strategic Initiatives Nicole Mannino Johnson recently attended the Tri-State Apprenticeship Summit. They heard from leaders in workforce development, registered apprenticeship representatives, business partners, and apprentices. The event provided an opportunity to learn how Literacy Pittsburgh can better support our students by understanding the in-demand careers available through apprenticeships and pre-apprenticeships in our region.
Literacy Pittsburgh partners with many programs in the trades, including Pittsburgh Gateways, APRI, Reimagine Reentry, and the Energy Innovation Center, to offer math brush-up and testing support, and we are building new ways to support our region's workforce.
