Lehigh Carbon Community College (LCCC) has joined with Pennsylvania's 13 other community colleges in celebrating the 1 millionth Pennsylvania employee trained through the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's Workforce and Economic Development Network of Pennsylvania (WEDnetPA).

LCCC has been a partner since WEDnetPA began in 1999.

WEDnetPA is an alliance of a variety of educational providers across Pennsylvania, including 11 of Pennsylvania's State System universities, Pennsylvania's 14 community colleges and other educational providers for the Commonwealth's Guaranteed Free Training (GFT) program. Each provider/WEDnetPA partner serves as the point of contact for businesses accessing GFT funds.

Through the GFT Program, qualified in-state businesses and out-of-state companies relocating to Pennsylvania can access funding for training categorized as either Basic Skills Training or Information Technology Training.

Since 1999, more than 17,000 companies across the Commonwealth have utilized the program's training services
