Workforce Leaders Symposium Prospectus 2025

Gather with Pennsylvania leaders in workforce development!


Hosted by the Pennsylvania Workforce Development Association (PWDA) Workforce development touches every corner of our communities.

Join professionals from across Pennsylvania who are working to build a stronger, more connected workforce. The PWDA Workforce Leaders Symposium brings together leaders from business, education, workforce, training, and economic development to share solutions, spark collaboration, and drive innovation.

This is where strategy meets practice—where policy discussions turn into action, and cross-sector collaboration leads to lasting impact.

What to Expect-

Dive into sessions that explore:

  • Strategies to address workforce shortages and talent retention
  • Models that connect education and employment
  • Employer-driven partnerships that scale results
  • Real-world innovations that strengthen local economies

Through interactive discussions and practical workshops, attendees will leave with tools and insights to shape their programs and lead with confidence.
