Commitment to Greater Hazelwood

Pitt has been a collaborator in the Greater Hazelwood community for 25 years. Pitt is also a powerhouse in the life sciences.

Combining these two efforts is the next phase of our community commitment to the people of Greater Hazelwood: community-led efforts to identify educational and economic benefits in the emerging life sciences industry. This includes the development of educational opportunities in STEM for children, building new paths of employment and innovative workforce development programs, and increased resource development and sharing.

This effort is part of the University's existing neighborhood commitments, which also include partnerships with the Homewood, Hill District, and Oakland neighborhoods.

Life Sciences Bridge Program

Pitt's Greater Hazelwood Neighborhood Commitment is launching a new Life Sciences Bridge Program, a paid 50-hour skills building work experience designed to prepare 18- to 24-year-olds without a college degree who are facing employment barriers for entry level careers in the life sciences! This is an opportunity for Greater Hazelwood residents to prepare for the emerging Life Sciences sector on Hazelwood Green as evident by Pitt's BioForge.

Priority will be given to applicants from Greater Hazelwood. If spaces remain, recruitment will expand to Pitt’s other Neighborhood Commitments including Homewood, the Hill District, and Oakland.
