From industrial center to hub for cutting-edge robotics and innovation, Pittsburgh is no longer just the “Steel City.” With the decline of the steel industry, Pittsburgh saw an opportunity for re-invention and seized it. Now known as an epicenter for education, medicine, advanced manufacturing and research, Pittsburgh has undergone a remarkable transformation and has become a national leader in building and developing workforce.
