The region’s 73 trainers with programs for high-paying, mid-skill jobs are concentrated in the region’s metro core where high concentrations of workers with potential training needs reside. These are workers who are unemployed or have less than a bachelor’s degree, and are lower income. Workers in need of training in places such as Lockport, Akron, Alden, Westfield, and Wellsville have limited access to training, compared to residents in Buffalo and Niagara Falls.
