Lieutenant Governor Austin Davis joined Representative Robert Matzie and Congressman Chris Deluzio at Beaver County Career & Technology Center (BCCTC) to meet with students and staff, tour the center, and talk about how the Shapiro-Davis Administration's investments in workforce development - including career and technical education (CTE), apprenticeship programs, and job training - are giving Pennsylvanians the freedom to chart their own course. The 2024-25 budget provides a $30 million increase for career and technical education (CTE) and equipment, along with an additional $2 million for the first time ever for nursing apprenticeships. The Shapiro-Davis Administration is focused on investing in all paths to success for students - from college and continuing education to vo-tech and apprenticeship programs - opening the doors of economic opportunity and building on critical investments made last year. Governor Shapiro and Lieutenant Governor Davis have worked with a bipartisan group of legislators to increase funding for workforce development by $61 million in their first two years in office - a more than 50 percent increase. "Since day one, I have been committed to delivering results for the people of Pennsylvania by addressing our most pressing challenges and bringing together Democrats and Republicans to get stuff done," said Governor Shapiro. "I'm proud of the historic investments we've made in job training, apprenticeship programs, and career and technical education, as these initiatives pave the way to economic opportunity and empower Pennsylvanians to shape their own futures. My Administration values skills and experience, recognizing that everyone's path is different, and ensuring that every Pennsylvanian has the opportunity to succeed."List of Speakers:Laura Delvecchio, Administrative Director at BCCTCDavid Liptak, Carpentry Instructor at BCCTCRep.
