Pittsburgh-based LandForce will start accepting applications for workforce training crew members on January 27. The deadline to apply is February 27.
A Landforce Crew is a team who works closely together to create important, positive change in the parks and green places in Allegheny County. Our crews are fun and productive, and they work hard to complete each project.
There are four kinds of work that Landforce crews do: Managing Vacant Land, Constructing Trails, Restoring Habitats and Managing Stormwater and Green Infrastructure.
Crew members also work with the Landforce team to create and implement Individualized Employment Plans, working together to identify and find long-term employment options.
92% of crew members who finish the season with us walk directly into employment opportunities with other employers
