ADVISORY – PHILADELPHIA – Governor Shapiro to Visit Temple University Health System to Highlight Proposed Investments to Grow Pennsylvania’s Nursing Workforce
Governor Josh Shapiro will visit Temple Women & Families to highlight the major investments his 2025-26 Budget Proposal would make to address the ongoing nursing shortage – including $5 million to support workforce initiatives to educate, train, and recruit nursing professionals.
Governor Shapiro’s budget proposal puts growing our workforce front and center, building upon previous investments to support the demand for reliable health care services throughout the state.
Under the Governor’s leadership, Pennsylvania has expanded workforce development and increased funding for vo-tech programs, career and technical education (CTE), and apprenticeships by nearly $65 million. Today, Pennsylvania invests 50 percent more in workforce development than when the Governor took office, equipping workers with the skills needed for high-demand jobs.
