What sets PPL's programs apart from other worthy skill-building programs is the entrepreneurial spirit driving them. PPL businesses are self-sustaining with the primary goal of providing soft-skill training (such as better work habits, job-seeking and job-keeping skills, etc.) and job experience for those most in need.   By collaborating with a variety of business and community partners, PPL is able to provide programs for a wide range of participants, all of whom are paid an hourly wage or a stipend, while honing their skills.   PPL's programs report high job placement retention rates and graduates go on to become valued employees.
