PA Workforce Coalition - Talent Survey

The Pennsylvania Workforce Coalition is a partnership initiated by PA APSE consisting of State Agencies and statewide membership organizations to increase employment and advancement of people with disabilities.

Do you identify as a person with a disability? If yes, please keep reading.

Are you looking for a job?
Want to learn more about an industry?
Want to have conversations with industry professionals to learn tips to advance your career?

If you answered YES to at least one of those three questions, please continue on with this survey.

We are hosting virtual events this October to help connect YOU with businesses. We will contact you regarding the day(s) based on your interests and needs.

We are accepting interest until Friday October 8th, so please be sure to submit by this time.

Please allow 15 minutes to complete this form. You will need a valid email address. If any part of this form is inaccessible for you, please contact us at PaWorkforceCoalition@gmail.com.
