Pennsylvania House passes bill that would create online career resource center - YourErie

Harkins’ bill would call on the state departments of Education, Labor and Industry and Agriculture to collaborate in developing and maintaining the online database. It would function as a clearinghouse of information on educational and career options, available career and technical education resources, and data and statistics on employment opportunities and compensation. “Students in today’s fast-changing career landscape need to keep up with the latest opportunities and demands involving high-skill, high-tech jobs,” Harkins said. “My bill would help equip our new generation of job seekers with the information they need to compete and succeed. Helping Pennsylvanians get good jobs is in line with our Democratic Plan for PA, and that starts with helping them make the right choices as they prepare to enter today’s modern workforce.” http://www.yourerie.com/news/local-news/house-passes-bill-that-would-create-online-career-resource-center/1153226701
