The Pittsburgh Regional Compact is a network of employers, schools and community organizations committed to building career education partnerships in southwestern Pennsylvania. The Compact facilitates partnerships among members by establishing lines of communication between businesses and schools, and engaging community organizations. Through relevant career education, local employers build a future pipeline of qualified employees, and the region’s students gain valuable career awareness and preparation.

The many ways to do this include:

• Classroom Speakers
• Workplace Tours
• Job Shadowing
• Career Mentoring
