Assisting Local Companies
A major role of the Progress Council is to work directly with area firms on technical, financial, and site location issues. We have worked with local firms on efforts to secure financing through a wide range of state programs as well as grants for workforce training. Loans have also been provided to local firms through the Progress Council administered Industrial Assistance Loan Program that finances infrastructure projects. The Council also developed Rostraver AirPark and constructed two industrial buildings.
Recently, the Progress Council formed a partnership with the Mon Valley Career and Technology Center to develop an educational program to improve workforce readiness. The goal of the Workforce Readiness Initiative is to have courses that address issues in technical reading, math competency, and work ethic. A committee comprised of local firms is advising on the development of the courses to ensure their relevance to real workplace issues.
