Stronger Families. Stronger Employees. Stronger Businesses.

Finding and keeping great employees is challenging—and for many working families, access to affordable, reliable childcare is part of the equation.

Join the Westmoreland County Chamber of Commerce for an interactive morning focused on moving from challenges to solutions. Hear from workforce and childcare experts, community partners, and local businesses exploring practical ways to better support employees and working families.

You’ll learn about:

• Federal and Pennsylvania tax credits and employer incentives
• Childcare assistance and resources for working families
• The Employer Child Care Toolkit and family-friendly workplace practices
• Local programs, funding opportunities, and pilot initiatives
• Real examples from employers putting new ideas into action
• Strategies to strengthen recruitment, retention, attendance, and engagement

This is more than a presentation—it’s an opportunity to ask questions, share challenges, discover resources, and connect with organizations that can help.

Bring your questions. Discover new possibilities. Help build a stronger workforce in Westmoreland County.
