New Century Careers is a nonprofit organization focused on manufacturing and technical skills development in Southwestern Pennsylvania. Based in Pittsburgh and founded in 1999, it works to expand inclusive access to technical training for the regional community and to help employers identify and grow technicians pursuing meaningful work and long-term career advancement. The organization collaborates with local manufacturers, four Workforce Investment Boards across nine counties, and state agencies to illuminate manufacturing opportunities and align training with workforce needs. A key objective is to strengthen ties with regional manufacturers, having partnered with more than 90 employers to shape the region’s future workforce. It targets local manufacturers that struggle to find motivated, trainable workers and aims to prepare individuals for quality family-wage jobs. In 2024, the organization launched a cohort for its M2K program.
