What is PAPEN?PAPEN (Pennsylvania Professional Employment Network) is a Piisburgh-based networking organization that helps participants advance their careers. Our Mission is to:
We started in 1992 as a networking group for unemployed white collar workers, but today our focus is on career advancement for everyone - whether unemployed, underemployed, or employed and moving ahead. Today, most new participants come into PAPEN when they are unemployed, or when that possibility is on their horizon. When they find a new or better job, many of them stay involved for the benefit it brings to their careers and to assist others who are also encountering challengs in their careers situations. Most of our participants work in professional, managerial, or technical fields, but no one is turned away. Most of our participants have ten or more years of experience, but some are students or recent graduates. All of our participants believe in the power of networking and peer support to assist each of us in reaching our full professional potential. Remember that none of our PAPEN volunteers are trained, licensed mental health professionals. If you feel depressed or are having trouble coping with your situation, please contact a a quakufued mental health professional for assistance.
