We’re teaming up with Mike Rowe to get more people into the high-demand skilled trades careers needed for Pennsylvania to grow. With the help of our $1 million donation, the mikeroweWORKS Foundation will offer scholarships and training programs to help workers learn skilled trades like electrical, plumbing, welding, and HVAC. “The demand for skilled labor in Pennsylvania has never been more urgent,” said Mike Rowe. “By investing in partnerships with Wells Fargo, we are helping to build stronger communities while supporting industries that keep our economy moving.” Our philanthropic investment builds on more than $10 million we’ve donated over the past two years in partnership with the mikeroweWORKS Foundation to advance skilled trades nationwide. Together, we hope to grow this critical workforce. “I applaud Wells Fargo and mikeroweWORKS Foundation for their commitment to the Commonwealth. Partnerships like this help expand workforce training opportunities, strengthen communities, and ensure more Pennsylvanians can access good-paying jobs and build successful careers,” said Pennsylvania Senator Dave McCormick.
