Workforce board launches campaign to help unemployed
The Three Rivers Workforce Investment Board is changing its name to Partner4Work. The change in name and branding coincides with a campaign this year to better reach the Pittsburgh region’s roughly 40,000 people who are unemployed or underemployed and connect them with employers and support groups. “This is more than a name change,” the group said in a statement. “This is the promise that Partner4Work will continue to support greater flexibility within the workforce system as we connect disadvantaged populations with sustainable employment opportunities and local businesses with skilled talent.”
