To create a world-class workforce,
through professional development of
local career and education students and
partnerships with the local business community,

build and reinforce self-confidence, positive work attitudes, and leadership
and communication skills. We are building a better workforce by preparing our
students to be productive, professional employees.

century career skills—effective communication, professional decorum, financial literacy, work ethic,
competitive spirit, and collaborative teamwork—which will complement their technical training, preparing
them for employment and leadership in the Greater Lehigh Valley.
