Why it matters here
HR training challenges facing Allentown teams
Average private-sector pay across Lehigh County reached $73,070 in 2025 (BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, 2025 annual averages, retrieved 2026-07-27). At that pay, every avoidable resignation is expensive to replace, and the manager relationship decides most of them. Training frontline supervisors is the cheapest retention lever an Allentown employer has, and the fastest to put in place.
Catapult was founded in Charlotte in 1958 and today trains Pennsylvania teams live online.

Pennsylvania employment context
HR compliance for Pennsylvania employers
Pennsylvania has no harassment prevention training mandate for private employers. The Pennsylvania Human Relations Act covers employers with 4 or more employees and is enforced by the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission; charges are routinely cross-filed with the EEOC, which logged 4,732 Pennsylvania charge receipts in fiscal year 2025 (EEOC Table E1b, FY 2025, retrieved 2026-07-27), one of the highest state counts in the country. Under the federal Faragher and Ellerth decisions, documented policy plus manager training is what holds the affirmative defense when a supervisor harassment claim lands. Catapult delivers that training to Allentown teams live online, with a completion record for every attendee.

Good to know
Allentown HR training questions
Does the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act cover small employers?
It applies to employers with 4 or more employees, well below federal Title VII’s 15. A 5-person Allentown shop answers to the PHRA even though federal law does not reach it. No Pennsylvania statute mandates harassment training, but liability starts at 4 employees, so prevention should too.
Yes. Every session is live online and open to anyone in Pennsylvania. Sessions are scheduled on Eastern Time, which is Allentown’s own clock, so a 9:00 AM class starts at 9:00 AM local. In-person seats exist only in Charlotte and Raleigh, North Carolina; everywhere else attends virtually.
Everything an HR team buys training for: compliance and harassment prevention, manager development, professional skills, technology and certification prep. Course pages show upcoming dates, and any session can be delivered privately for an Allentown group, online or at your site.
Nearly all. HRCI and SHRM approval is listed on each course page, and completion certificates document your hours. If your team holds PHR, SPHR, SHRM-CP or SHRM-SCP credentials, Catapult sessions slot directly into their recertification plans.
Yes. Any course in the catalog can run as a closed session for your Allentown organization, live online or with a facilitator at your site. You pick the date, we bring the instructor, and every attendee still receives a completion record.
