 Skills in Scranton is the award winning business-education partnership of The Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce. This partnership, founded in 1989, is made up of business leaders, small and large companies, educators, government officials, and other local community leaders who contribute their time and energy to benefit our community.
Skills in Scranton and the Chamber are partners in
Work & Play in Northeast PA
and
FutureConnect.org.
The mission of Skills in Scranton is "to create, advocate and nurture business, education and
community partnerships which address educational and workforce opportunities for our students
and communities."
Skills in Scranton has seven interacting committees of over 150 volunteers that work together
on projects or programs that are intended to help students, teachers, and employers.
Skills in Scranton and the business community have formed this partnership because employers
need a quality workforce. Skills in Scranton provides a focus for school-to-work transition,
job training and re-training. We strive to be the mechanism that can and will effect change in
education. We do that through collaboration and by offering our collective expertise to schools,
social agencies, and employers. The need for a higher quality work and more productive
business-education partnership is the primary motivating force behind our involvement.
