The New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development (NJDOL) has launched SkillUp New Jersey, a free virtual training program to help jobseekers upgrade their skills and train for certifications.

The SkillUpAmerica program prepares the community for advanced employment opportunities, not only in Lancaster but statewide, joining seventeen other states in offering thousands of free courses to Pennsylvanians. It’s a chance for job-seekers to gain new skills or brush up on old ones. The program has been around in Lancaster County for four years and has had tremendous success, so it expanded statewide this summer.

Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry (L&I) Secretary Jennifer Berrier today reminded Pennsylvania job seekers of the free services available through SkillUp™ PA, a virtual learning platform offering more than 5,000 unique training modules to help Pennsylvanians gain new skills, polish their resume, and advance their careers.

Not college bound? Not a problem. For students graduating from high school who are not headed to college, Workforce Solutions says there are a variety of free and low-cost job training programs that lead to high-paying jobs.
