Ways to Get Involved

Every student's path to a career runs through somebody who showed up for them. Partnership for Career Development connects schools, employers, and communities across South Central Pennsylvania so young people can find real work, real mentors, and a real next step. There is a place in that work for you.

24+ school districts and career & technical centers we serve  |  150+ employers and community partners in our network  |  200+ organizations in the Cradle to Career Alliance  |  serving the region since 1995

Advocate for Dedicated State Funding

Featured Opportunity: Sponsor the CAP Kick Off Event

September 9, 2026. Every fall we bring together employers, educators, and students to launch a new year of work-based learning. Sponsorship puts your organization in front of the region's next workforce, and every level of support helps us reach more classrooms. Request the sponsorship packet

Not Sure Where You Fit?

Every partnership starts with a short conversation about what your organization can offer and what students in the region actually need. Email us to get started, call (717) 608-1350, or visit crpcd.org.
