The awards are sponsored by the state's workforce development agencies — the departments of Aging, Education, Labor & Industry and Public Welfare — and Pennsylvania Partners to recognize exceptional employees who have benefited from Pennsylvania's workforce development initiatives.

"Each and every day, low-income families across the state are working to find ways to make ends meet, to be able to provide for the needs of their families," said Department of Public Welfare Secretary
Pennsylvania Partners, an association of workforce development professionals in each of the commonwealth's 23 workforce investment areas, sponsors the annual event that attracts more than 1,200 private and public job-training experts from across
