WEDnetPA Featured Success Story!

A great success story coming from the WEDnetPA partner - Greater Altoona Career and Technology Center featuring participating company: Norfolk Southern.



Norfolk Southern strives to be the safest, most customer-focused and successful transportation company in the world. Any program that helps our employees achieve those goals, particularly when it comes to safety, is an asset. Norfolk Southern has led the industry by capturing the E.H. Harriman Award every year since 1989.

The railroad industry will see nearly a third of its workforce reach retirement age within the next five years, and that means railroads are hiring thousands of new employees each year. Those employees must undergo extensive training to meet Norfolk Southern’s high standards for safety and performance.

WEDNetPA has been a valuable resource to aid in the educational development of our workforce.  In addition, the application process and the Information Sharing, Administration & Analysis Center (ISAAC) is very user friendly.  Our WEDnetPA partner has been readily available to answer any questions I have had throughout the process.  I encourage you to inquire about this program by visiting https://isaac.wednetpa.com/
