Ready. Set. Philly! is a collaborative return-to-work civic initiative between the City of Philadelphia, the Chamber of Commerce for Greater Philadelphia and a broad coalition of employers and organizations throughout the region who care deeply about Philadelphia. We’re pooling the collective resources of leaders in city government and business to design the unified plan needed to help encourage and support people safely returning to Philadelphia for work and play.
2025-2026 High Priority Occupations List
August 6, 2025
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s Workforce System has established High Priority Occupations (HPOs) for 2025-2026. HPOs are one component of Pennsylvania’s industry-driven approach to workforce development. The purpose of the HPO lists is to align workforce training and education investments with occupations that are in demand by employers, have higher skill needs, and are most likely to provide family-sustaining wages.
