Update

Building Bridges for Business’ Education Department provided career education and job placement to thousands of Western Pennsylvania’s middle and high school students via its #UcanB Program. The organization’s Workforce Development Department coordinated and/or participated in a number of community events designed to advance the careers of working adults throughout the region.

The #UcanB Career Education Program received more requests from more school districts than ever before while its current school partners asked for additional hours and expansion of services.

Several new Government officials and community partners asked for Building Bridges for Business’ Workforce Development Team to assist with event organization, job placement and career services.
