We are a proud partner with PA CareerLink Huntingdon County!

A big shout out to Matt Price, Executive Director of the Huntingdon County Visitors Bureau, a partner with the Army Corp of Engineers. Matt has been utilizing PA CareerLink's Paid Work Experience program for 13 years. The students they have hired in the past have all be high school-aged has been a fantastic experience. The students work at the Lake Raystown Visitor Information Center, which, as Matt says, "helps to augment the summer staff in a way that they could not otherwise. They answer visitor questions, give directions, assist in gift shop sales, and really learn more about the area they live." Price goes on to say, "once you answer questions about where things are and what there is to do, it opens their eyes to the great area where we live."
