PTAC Program Manager
JARI, in conjunction with the Southern Alleghenies Planning & Development Commission and other regional development partners, with support of the Commonwealth of PA, are offering training to eligible businesses at no cost. This training is made possible through a U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Office of Economic Adjustment (OEA) grant to assist defense contractor's transition into new markets.
The training is available to eligible businesses at no cost if a company representative successfully completes the training. Eligible businesses must reside within the six-county region of Bedford, Blair, Cambria, Fulton, Huntingdon or Somerset counties. Companies must have been or still be a registered DoD contractor. All training will be conducted in the Johnstown area and pre-registration is required. The upcoming training sessions are as follows:
- Advanced Sales - July 20, 2016
- Marketing & Communications Training (2.5 days) - August 3, 2016/ August 22, 2016 /September 12, 2016
