PAsmart
The goal of the PAsmart initiative is to expand Career and Technical Education, STEM, and computer science teaching, learning and talent development, so that students across Pennsylvania have the skills to meet the needs of the dynamic Pennsylvania economy.
PAsmart Grants
Since 2018, over $80 million has been secured and strategically invested in education and workforce development through PAsmart impacting over 1250 schools. The Pennsylvania Workforce Development Board provided initial recommendations and approved the framework for the funding priorities.
PAsmart grants provide high-quality Career and Technical Education, STEM and computer science opportunities to communities across Pennsylvania, including within early learning centers, libraries, out-of-school time providers, career and technical centers, post-secondary institutions, and K-12 schools. The department has awarded over 500 PAsmart grants since the 2018-19 school year.
