When industry knocks these days, colleges are quick to answer.
Be it Westmoreland County Community College’s partnership with the shale industry, the efforts of Seton Hill and the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg to mint more registered nurses, Clarion University of Pennsylvania’s certificate for opioid treatment specialists or California University of Pennsylvania’s act to fill gaps for employers seeking more hands on deck for data analytics, local institutions of higher education are moving to fill the employers’ needs.
