September Jobs That Pay Update: Workforce Development, Jumpstarting Small Businesses, Proudly PA
By: The Office of Governor Tom Wolf
September 25, 2017

This September, whether it’s training for a new career path, jumpstarting a small business, or committing to a major expansion, the commonwealth was there to provide the necessary resources and support to get the job done.
Highlights include Governor Wolf’s recognition of PhilaPort for achieving its highest ever monthly total for cargo volume, breaking the previous record achieved earlier this year, and announcement of new partnerships to build innovative workforce training centers in Allegheny County, and expanding on Pennsylvania’s nationally recognized STEM education ecosystems. In addition, the governor announced new low-interest loan approvals to help kickstart small businesses across the commonwealth.
Governor Wolf also visited northern Pennsylvania to hear directly from business leaders that for many generations have proudly call the Keystone State their home: Rynone Manufacturing Corp, a family-owned manufacturing business in Bradford County; Zippo Manufacturing, an iconic brand celebrating 85 years in Pennsylvania; and BWP Bats, a professional grade bat manufacturer in Jefferson County.
Earlier this month, Governor Wolf met with local community development leaders to tour several community revitalization projects in the city of Coatesville, Chester County, toured the newly renovated Bryn Mawr Hospital, a new $200 million, state-of-the-art facility that will modernize the hospital, and joined Perdue Farms to celebrate the opening of Pennsylvania’s first large-scale, commercial soybean processing plant.
This administration is committed to fostering an economic climate in the commonwealth that both sparks workforce innovation in STEM fields and provides a secure foundation for businesses to continue to proudly call Pennsylvania home for many future generations.
