A New Path in the Skilled Trades is Coming to the Heart of Greensburg
Skilled trades jobs are in high demand across Pennsylvania, and Greensburg has a new place to train for them. Lackawanna College is set to open its new Greensburg Center this summer in Greensburg, offering two associate degree programs that lead directly to careers employers are actively hiring for.
To celebrate the opening, the college is hosting a ribbon cutting ceremony on Wednesday July 15, 2026 from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Following the ribbon cutting, the Greensburg Center will host an open house Saturday July 18, 2026 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Prospective students and community members are welcome to tour the facility, meet the faculty, and learn more about our new programs.
About Our Facility
The Greensburg Center features approximately 6,000 square feet of classroom and laboratory space and includes a 4,000-square-foot Weld Shop with 30 individual welding booths. The facility is built around hands-on learning, giving students access to industry equipment and real-world training from the start of their education.
