JEVS Human Services and our partners are committed to strengthening the Greater Philadelphia region’s career pathway opportunities for disconnected communities while also meeting regional employers’ workforce development needs.
To accelerate this work, we are building a repository of resources to support the expansion of career pathway apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship programs in our region. To contribute to this effort, please send contact info or additional resources to apprenticeships@jevs.org.
