If you are interested in establishing an apprenticeship program in your company, please join us for a “how to” information session on Wednesday, November 30. The session will be held from 9 AM to 11 AM at Pennsylvania Highlands Community College, Workforce Education Center located at 101 Community College Way, Richland Campus.
Stuart Bass, Executive Director and John Tkach, Director of Projects from Keystone Development Partnership will be presenting. The session is part of the second annual National Apprenticeship Week.
“The goal of the National Apprenticeship Week is to educate businesses and leaders about the importance of Apprenticeship programs and how they can improve productivity and profitability, standardize training, reduce turnover, receive tax credits and more. These programs can lead to great jobs that also help positively impact our economy,” said Stuart Bass.

API Hosts Fall Government Business Development Forum

IMG_0097
Roboteam’s MTGR stole the show once again at the Fall Government Business Development Forum (GBDF) hosted by API in Windber. Attendees heard from Nick Miller, API Director of Materials and Planning, about their products and services, including their recent partnership with Roboteam. Miller mentioned they are always looking for local suppliers and encouraged companies to reach out if interested in doing business with API. Carl Sax, representing BCL Manufacturing, spoke about the relationship they have with API. A tour followed the brief presentations where attendees walked through various sections of the business, including the MTGR production room. JARI PTAC thanks API for hosting the forum.
Government contracting is more than the Department of Defense (DoD), even if the end product is a DoD product. Contractor and subcontractors can contribute a wide variety of products and services to the government.
