Lead regional workforce development activities in order to assist individuals in obtaining the skills needed for today’s workforce and to help employers retrain, hire, and retain skilled workers.
Westmoreland-Fayette Workforce Investment Board’s recent grantmaking is dominated by large workforce contracts that support job training in Westmoreland and Fayette counties. The biggest award in the data is $3,357,406 to Private Industry Council in Greensburg, followed by another $3,327,729 grant to the same organization in 2024 and a $3,118,080 grant in 2023. That pattern points to a board that finances ongoing local workforce delivery rather than isolated one-off projects. The board’s stated role is to lead regional workforce development activities so individuals can gain skills for today’s workforce and employers can retrain, hire, and retain skilled workers. Its active programs show a mix of youth career readiness, internships, apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship support, recovery-to-work partnerships, and healthcare workforce initiatives. Recent awards also reach community action agencies, education and training providers, and industry partners in southwestern Pennsylvania. The grant list includes organizations in Greensburg, Uniontown, Coraopolis, Washington, Butler, Harrisburg, and Pittsburgh, with funding flowing almost entirely to Pennsylvania recipients. Taken together, the picture is of a local workforce intermediary using public workforce dollars to support training pipelines, employer-linked programming, and sector-based workforce projects.
Youth career readiness is a clear strand of the board’s work. In 2024, it awarded $420,517 to Fayette County Community Action in Uniontown and $217,526 to the same organization in 2023, both labeled job training. Its active TANF Youth Career Readiness programs also fund in-school and out-of-school youth in Westmoreland and Fayette counties through local host organizations. The board also supports apprenticeship pathways. Recent grants include $103,587 and $101,109 to Pittsburgh Chapter National Tooling in Coraopolis, alongside a $37,259 award to Washington Job Training Agency Inc in Washington. Program descriptions show that apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship funding is used for manufacturing, building trades, hospitality, transportation, and other local industries. Healthcare workforce development is another recurring area. The Healthcare Employment Ecosystem is described as a regional industry partnership that convenes healthcare employers and supports on-the-job and incumbent worker training across southwestern Pennsylvania. Recovery-to-work appears as well through the Southwest Pennsylvania Regional Recovery Ecosystem under ARC’s INSPIRE partnership.

Grant sizes are highly skewed. The typical award sits at a median of $21,352, with a lower quartile of $10,812 and an upper quartile of $76,930. The recent record shows repeated funding to the same providers across years, especially for major workforce contracts and program administration. The board functions as a public workforce intermediary rather than a private family foundation or donor-advised fund. It administers and channels WIOA, TANF, BEP, and other state and federal workforce dollars through program and project grants. Some programs accept unsolicited requests, including WF-BEP grants and the Healthcare Employment Ecosystem, while others are delivered through RFPs or contracted providers.
