UPJ students, alumni AIM high | Initiative links business, education worlds

The Tribune-Democrat

Kudos to Pitt-Johnstown and area economic development agencies for reaching out to university students and alumni in a new program that could benefit the region as a whole.

AIM@Johnstown was launched Monday at UPJ.

The program’s initial focus is connecting alumni with current students to develop educational opportunities while at the same time selling employment opportunities available locally.

UPJ benefits by reaching out to its graduates and involving them in current programs on campus.

The alums, now running or managing businesses, benefit by growing the next generation of workers and by giving back to the university.

The region also stands to benefit, as more UPJ students are exposed to the many great companies that exist here, and have more reasons to stay in the Johnstown region after graduation.

Johnstown Area Regional Industries and its Greater Johnstown Keystone Innovation Zone are co-sponsors of the AIM@Johnstown effort.

If this program takes off, we’ll all share in its success.
