Innovation District Skills Alliance (IDSA)

Employment Resources

Training and Development

The Innovation District Skills Alliance creates career pathways for high-barrier residents from neighborhoods surrounding Oakland, such as the Hill District, Hazelwood, and Homewood, to support inclusive growth of the Pittsburgh Innovation District. By training participants directly in the skills needed for a selected position and providing them with supportive services, graduates of this program are connected with lucrative positions within local universities and companies. Uniting job-seekers with university work can be transformative by providing family-sustaining wages, benefits, and union opportunities. The Innovation District Skills Alliance is a new program created by InnovatePGH, Jewish Family and Community Services, local universities, and philanthropic partners.
