Lackawanna College Expands to Meet Growing Demand for Skilled Trades in Western Pennsylvania

Lackawanna College, a nonprofit institution based in Scranton, is expanding its operations into Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, to address the increasing demand for skilled trades education. This move comes in response to the closure of Triangle Tech and other for-profit schools, which have faced financial and accreditation challenges. The college plans to offer programs in electrical technology, welding, and fabrication at its new Greensburg campus starting this fall. This expansion is part of a broader trend in vocational education, which has seen a 14% increase in enrollment as reported by the National Student Clearinghouse. The demand for skilled workers is further driven by the growth of data centers in the region, which require personnel for construction, wiring, and maintenance.

New College Graduates Face High Unemployment Rates Amid Challenging Job Market

New College Graduates Face High Unemployment Rates Amid Challenging Job Market

Recent college graduates are entering a difficult job market, with unemployment rates for this group reaching approximately 5.7% in the fourth quarter of 2025, as reported by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. This is notably higher than the overall unemployment rate of 4.2% during the same period. Factors contributing to this situation include the increasing role of artificial intelligence in making entry-level positions obsolete, as noted by BlackRock CEO Larry Fink. Graduates are facing challenges such as securing health insurance and managing student loans, with many relying on staying on their parents' health plans until age 26. Additionally, unemployment benefits may not be accessible to many new graduates due to insufficient work history, although state job placement services could offer some assistance.
