Our Plan

The Pennsylvania Opportunity Agenda developed by Pittsburgh Works Together is intended to maximize the opportunity for Pennsylvanians in all regions, of all education levels, to have meaningful jobs and a fulfilling quality of life.

CREATE THE OPPORTUNITY
With a better business climate

PREPARE FOR THE OPPORTUNITY
With greater access to vocational skills training for the real world

ENERGIZE THE OPPORTUNITY
With smart energy policies that protect the economy and the environment

SEIZE THE OPPORTUNITY
By promoting Pennsylvania as the best place for business

Now more than ever, Harrisburg needs to focus on creating conditions to attract the private-sector investment that creates jobs and economic opportunities. Pennsylvania is losing out. We are losing out on good jobs. Most parts of the state are losing population as people leave because of a lack of opportunity.

Eight out of 10 Pennsylvania voters say the state “needs to take bold action to grow our way out of the mess we’re in.”¹
