.@GovernorShapiro's clear directive: Create more paths to opportunity and invest in our transportation infrastructure. So, we've modernized a great training program to make work better for our contracting partners and remove more barriers for people to join this career field.
More Pennsylvanians can grow transportation industry careers and contractors have more streamlined workforce development, thanks to PennDOT’s expanded On-the-Job Training (OJT) program and @GovernorShapiro's investment in PA workers: pa.gov/agencies/penndot/news….
