WEDnetPA

The Workforce & Economic Development Network of Pennsylvania (WEDnetPA) is focused on retaining Commonwealth companies by helping them improve the skills and productivity of their Pennsylvania employees. WEDnetPA provides grant funds to eligible companies as reimbursement for documented employee training that takes place during the fiscal year. Each year, program eligibility is reviewed and updated.

The keystone of the WEDnetPA 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 training providers (the WEDnetPA partners, third-party providers or in-house staff) as well as delivery options (on-site, off-site, online).
