Keystone Development Partnership

About KDP

​The Pennsylvania AFL-CIO founded the Keystone Development Partnership (KDP) in 2005 as 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization with a mission to create labor management and workforce development programs that serve local communities.  


Today KDP serves this mission by helping to catalyze training and apprenticeship programs and manage regional partnerships.   We bring together employers, unions, training providers, industry associations, community-based organizations and  public agencies to collaborate on initiatives that improve labor skills and productivity.  Our work helps ensure businesses have the skilled workers they need to thrive and unions have effective training programs for their members.
