Industry Focused Partnerships
What is an Industry Partnership?
An industry partnership is a multi-employer collaborative effort that brings together management and labor around the common purpose of improving the competitiveness of a cluster of companies or organizations producing similar products or services and sharing similar supply chains, critical human resource needs, infrastructure requirements, business services, and/or retention/recruitment challenges.
Through continued support from the Pennsylvania Legislature and the Department of Labor and Industry, Pennsylvania has a strong statewide network of locally-supported industry partnerships that can develop relevant strategies for ensuring that our key industries remain competitive.
