In this podcast episode, Lorelee Isbell, Associate Vice President for Career and Workforce Development at Shippensburg University, and Laura Potthoff, Director of Business Development from F&M Trust Bank, discuss a collaborative workforce development initiative aimed at addressing the labor shortage in the construction industry in South Central Pennsylvania. They highlight the creation of a short-term, non-credit construction program designed for unemployed and underemployed individuals, which provides hands-on training, industry certifications like OSHA 10, and direct engagement with employers. The program is unique due to its inclusive ecosystem approach, involving local employers, social service organizations, and community partners to ensure participants are well-prepared and connected to job opportunities.
