Become a part of the PennDOT team and contribute to supporting Pennsylvania employers in kickstarting their recruitment and training initiatives. This role involves overseeing the Commonwealth Workforce Transformation Program, which aims to assist employers in training and developing skilled workforces in vital sectors like infrastructure. Through this program, grants are provided to employers to facilitate the hiring and training of new workers in key industries such as highway and infrastructure.

This role offers the opportunity to make a tangible impact on the workforce development landscape in the state by working closely with employers to address their training needs and enhance their workforce capabilities. Joining the PennDOT team in this capacity means being at the forefront of driving economic growth and prosperity through strategic workforce development initiatives.

As part of your role, you will be responsible for analyzing CWTP reports in order to assess contractors' adherence to contract goals and special provisions. This analysis will help determine if contractors are meeting the requirements set forth in their contracts. Another aspect of your job will involve reviewing bid proposals to ensure that the appropriate number of CWTP eligible trainees are included in projects. This is crucial to ensure that the CWTP program is effectively providing opportunities for trainees to gain valuable work experience. You will also be tasked with reviewing and evaluating CWTP status reports that are submitted by PennDOT district offices. Your expertise will be needed to provide guidance and feedback to these offices, ensuring that they are in compliance with the program's regulations. Additionally, you will be responsible for reviewing CWTP contractor exit interview feedback. This feedback will help identify any areas that require further investigation or follow-up. Your attention to detail will be crucial in ensuring that all necessary information is properly addressed. Lastly, you will be conducting preliminary investigations into complaints related to program participants. These investigations will require you to gather relevant information and prepare preliminary summary reports for your supervisor.
