Job training available for older workers

Clerical and custodial training is available at the Westmoreland County Housing Authority (WCHA) for unemployed, job-willing applicants who are 55-years of age and older and who meet income eligibility guidelines.

Public agencies, government offices or nonprofit organizations such as WCHA serve as training sites for program participants who can update skills and learn new skills while continuing their job search.

 Eligible participants earn $7.25 per hour for up to 20 hours of work per week.
