The York County Regional Chamber (YCRC) proudly introduces LIFT – Leadership Institute for Talent, an innovative initiative uniting all Chamber leadership, workforce, and talent development programs. Designed to support individuals and organizations in cultivating leadership and addressing workforce challenges, LIFT provides tailored programs for every career stage, industry, and organizational need.

Building a Community of Leaders

LIFT offers a comprehensive framework to develop leaders and strengthen York County’s talent pipeline. Programs such as Leadership York County (LYCO), Leadership CORE, and Non-Profit Management Certification are designed to empower individuals and organizations at all levels.

While technical training is often readily available, leadership skills like inspiring trust, strategic planning, and team building are frequently overlooked. To bridge this gap, LIFT offers high-impact workshops and customized training led by Chamber professionals and top providers like Franklin Covey and the Disney Institute.

Strengthening York County’s Talent Pipeline

LIFT partners with local K-12 school districts and higher education institutions, including Clinton College, Winthrop University, and York Technical College, to build career pathways through internships, dual enrollment, and soft skills training. Programs like Employer Provided Innovation Challenges (EPIC) offer a standardized platform for employers and educators to deliver career-focused challenges, fostering awareness, exploration, and development.

Your Partner in Workforce and Leadership Development

LIFT is more than a set of programs; it is a commitment to building York County’s future leaders and solving workforce challenges. Through collaboration, skill-building, and employer support, LIFT positions York County as a hub for talent and leadership excellence.
