How We Partner

You bring expertise, existing relationships, and knowledge of Northeastern Pennsylvania. JobsFirst NEPA brings a shared framework, proven tools, and learning from other cities and regions. Together, we build something neither of us could build alone.

“JobsFirst NEPA is not just another initiative. It is the infrastructure we have been building toward – a neutral, regional workforce intermediary that aligns partners across industry, education, community, and policy; advances sector-based strategies in high-demand industries like healthcare; and builds clear, connected pathways for individuals, especially those who have historically been left out.”
