SkillUp virtual Learning platform available for job seekers

The Department of Labor & Industry (L&I) is reminding job seekers to use SkillUp PA, a free virtual learning platform offering more than 5,000 unique training modules to help users polish their resumes and gain new skills.

“SkillUp offers free online education to Pennsylvania job seekers looking to take on a new career or advance in their current one,” L&I Secretary Jennifer Berrier said. “At L&I, we are committed to helping develop the workforce in the commonwealth, and we want to meet job seekers where they are most comfortable. That’s why SkillUp PA is so useful — Pennsylvanians can access it right from the comfort of their couch or home office, on their own time and at their own pace.”

Since launching in August, more than 5,300 users have registered, and more than 2,200 courses and 2,600 training hours have been completed.

The platform gives users access to online courses such as time management, communication, information technology, customer service, marketing, clerical, and accounting/finance. The most popular categories include effective communication, business etiquette, enhancing top skills, written business communication, as well as teamwork and collaboration.

Users can also obtain industry-recognized credentials in human resources, project management, cybersecurity, and specialty credentials such as Microsoft Office Specialist and CompTIA.
