Training in Pennsylvania and the Film Industry

Pennsylvania was early among a number of states that have been making efforts to attract the Hollywood film industry in recent years. As a result of a series of generous tax credits over the last decade, a number of films have been fully or at least partially produced in Pennsylvania. Consider training courses in multimedia or video and learn software skills to take advantage of this relatively young industry. Learn a variety of important industry skills such as narrative scene editing, VFX techniques, and documentary editing. If you’re not finding the training you need as a classroom course, consider taking it online.

Energy Training in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania was the fourth largest coal producing state in the nation in 2012, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, and the state boasts an impressive production of natural gas. Nuclear power also plays a large role in the state’s energy profile, accounting for just over a third of the power generated by the state in recent years.

In addition to nuclear and coal production, the state has also prioritized the production of renewable energy, requiring that 18% of the energy sold by 2020 come from renewable sources. For this reason there has never been a better time to gain skills in technologies related to renewable energy. Prepare for this shift and consider traveling outside of Pennsylvania for training in renewable energy and enrich your state’s knowledge base.
