Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) Secretary Rick Siger announced the department is accepting applications for Manufacturing PA Training-to-Career (MTTC) Program funding to help Pennsylvanians chart their own path to career success and invest in the Commonwealth’s manufacturing industry.
The state’s new budget includes $4.7 million for MTTC.
“By securing $4.7 million for the MTTC Program in his 2026-27 budget, the Governor is ensuring we can help provide the next generation of manufacturing workers with the skills they need for rewarding careers, while also further strengthening this important industry in Pennsylvania,” said Secretary Siger.
The MTTC Program provides grant opportunities to Pennsylvania school districts, trade and technical schools, community colleges, and non-profit organizations to help identify and train a skilled workforce for existing or future open positions, build awareness of manufacturing career opportunities with youth or people with barriers to employment, and help provide more skilled workers for manufacturers.
DCED is accepting applications through June 30, 2027, or until the program’s funding is expended.
