Commissioners allocated $949,000 toward a newly formed Westmoreland Workforce Development Plan that will be available at all 17 county school districts to promote occupational guidance and coordination of internships with local firms.
The program is being funded with a portion of the $105 million the county received in federal covid pandemic relief funds. It will be coordinated through the Economic Growth Connection of Westmoreland, a private nonprofit agency that promotes county development.
