We make Pennsylvania, its companies and their employees more productive and competitive.
The Workforce and Economic Development Network of Pennsylvania (WEDnetPA) was created to make companies across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania more competitive by updating and improving the skills of their employees to meet specific company needs.
WEDnetPA is an alliance of a variety of educational providers across Pennsylvania — including 11 of Pennsylvania's State System universities, Pennsylvania's 14 community colleges and other educational providers — that acts as the delivery mechanism for the Commonwealth's Guaranteed Free Training (GFT) program. Each provider/WEDnetPA partner serves as the point of contact for businesses accessing GFT funds.
Through the GFT Program, qualified in-state businesses and out-of-state companies relocating to the economic-friendly business climate of Pennsylvania can access funding for a wide range of training (categorized as either Basic Skills Training or Information Technology Training).

"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."
