I work closely with each member of the office in order to correctly pass the
right individuals on to them. In my time here I have seen many
demographics walk through the door, each with their own story of barriers

the person’s employment journey.
People of all ages and background come into the CRC looking for
employment. However, I have noticed a lack in a certain age group. I am a
recent graduate of the University of Pittsburgh and know how scary it can
be when you are thrusted into the adult world after graduation. That being
said, I was surprised, as a young adult myself, to see such a lack of college
students utilizing our resources. Our office is dedicated to helping every
person gain employment despite their background and degree. We have
the means to help not only college graduates find employment, but current

PA CareerLink® Westmoreland County at Youngwood 151 Pavilion Ln, Youngwood, PA 15697 (724) 755-2330
A veteran came into the PACL looking for employment and/or training
services. He was having a difficult time because his machinist skills are out-of-date making it
harder to get a job for the manufacturing technology local employers are now using. An
Account Representative and our Local Veteran Employer Representative made contact with
this Veteran to assess his skills and interest for possible referral to an employer to hire him
under our On-the-Job Training Program.
Employer J.F. Burns and Company stepped up to the table again and hired this Veteran as a
Machine Operator with an above average sustainable wage for the area. Due to the Veteran’s
reduced experience with the technology this particular machine shop uses, a six month OJT
contract was approved by the Workforce Development Board to assist in off-setting the cost of
this company training him. The company was able to save over $8k in training costs while also
employing a dedicated, hard-working veteran.
Many thanks to J. F. Burns for hiring and training our Veterans and to the teamwork of the PA
CareerLink Staff for helping to make this happen.
