Improving the skill level and productivity of Pennsylvania's workforce
To strengthen the business environment of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, WEDnetPA was developed to provide a training network responsive to employers' workforce development needs. This network is called The Guaranteed Free Training (GFT) Program.
The WEDnetPA-managed GFT Program offers two training programs. These programs give qualified in-state businesses and out-of-state companies relocating to the economic-friendly business climate of Pennsylvania the opportunity to train new and existing employees.
The first program, Basic Skills Training, provides instruction in a variety of basic and entry-level skills. Information Technology Training, the second program, provides instruction in a variety of information technology and advanced applied manufacturing subjects.
The keystone of the GFT program is its ability to be responsive to the needs of Pennsylvania's business community through a flexible and easy-to-use system. An important element of this system is that businesses determine their own training needs and can select among various WEDnetPA-approved training providers (the WEDnetPA partners, third-party providers or in-house staff) as well as delivery options (on-site, off-site or online).

"I want to thank you for the grants! I canít tell you how much it has helped our business. The Wheatstone training helped us get two great jobs including a six-station build out for
Clear Channel in Rochester, New York, and the latest project, a studio build out for the University of North Carolina. This project should gain us national publicity. Also the Siemons training was a requirement to get our network certification to install a network system for the state of Pa. This is for their new OVR building in Altoona. We are starting that project within the next few weeks."
