Who We Serve
Tec Centro York's doors are open to everyone, regardless of race, education, income, or background. The individuals we serve are often bilingual or non-English speakers who are unemployed or underemployed and living at or below the poverty line.
Our programs are designed to meet people where they are and support them as they move toward meaningful employment and economic stability.
Why This Matters
York County faces a growing shortage of skilled workers in both the healthcare field and the construction trades. Employers are struggling to fill essential roles, while many adults in our community remain unemployed or underemployed — not because they lack motivation, but because they lack access to language education, credentials, and workforce training aligned with today's job market.
Tec Centro York addresses this gap.
Our programs serve adults facing barriers to employment, including limited access to education, language services, and credentials aligned with today's job market.
By combining English language education, workforce training, and employment services, Tec Centro York helps individuals build the skills needed to secure stable, in-demand jobs.
This work is critical to breaking cycles of poverty. When adults gain access to career pathways in healthcare and the skilled trades, families experience greater financial stability, employers gain a reliable workforce, and the broader community benefits from a stronger local economy.
Strengthening York's Economy
Workforce development is economic development. In our first six months, Tec Centro York has served over 400 individuals, placed 121 people in jobs, and helped workforce training graduates earn an average of $19.63/hour — nearly triple minimum wage. Research from the Keystone Research Center shows that every dollar invested in workforce training returns up to $8 in economic growth for Pennsylvania.
When our graduates move into careers in healthcare and the skilled trades, they fill critical vacancies, contribute to the tax base, and invest in their families and communities. Your support doesn't just change one life — it strengthens the economic foundation of York County.
