  • Demystifying the Unfilled Jobs
    During our community planning forum with Dennis Yablonsky, CEO of the Allegheny Conference on Community Development we learned of tens of thousands of unfilled jobs available in the Pittsburgh Region. Many forum attendees noted a need for more detailed understanding about the jobs behind that number. The Three Rivers Workforce Investment Board conducted an analysis of job openings in the Pittsburgh area. Many of the jobs are aligned with degree programs offered by CCAC. Almost 50% of the openings were in five clusters: management, computer related occupations, sales occupations, office and administrative support, healthcare practitioners and technical occupations.
