Why it matters here
HR training challenges facing Scranton teams
Scranton’s employers compete for people inside a market of 88,136 private-sector jobs across Lackawanna County (BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, 2025 annual averages, retrieved 2026-07-27). 94 percent of local establishments employ fewer than 50 people (Census County Business Patterns, 2023, retrieved 2026-07-27), which means people decisions usually sit with owners and line managers, not an HR department. That is exactly who our courses train.

Average private-sector pay in Lackawanna County (BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, 2025 annual averages, retrieved 2026-07-27). Keeping people at that pay starts with managers.

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. For Scranton employers, Catapult’s instructor-led online sessions cover this ground and document it.
Employment law guidance reviewed by Karol Dixon, Senior HR Advisor, and Cindy Satter, Senior HR Advisor, SHRM-SCP, PHR. See Catapult HR Advisors.

Scranton HR training questions
Do out-of-state employees change a Pennsylvania employer’s training duties?
Yes. Pennsylvania mandates nothing, but a Scranton company with staff in New York, Connecticut, Delaware or Maine inherits those states’ training requirements for those employees. Multi-state employers usually train everyone to the strictest applicable standard rather than tracking separate cycles state by state.
Yes, Scranton teams attend every course live online. There is no travel: sessions stream to your desk on a year-round calendar, posted in Eastern Time, your own time zone. If you prefer a classroom, the in-person rooms are in Charlotte and Raleigh, North Carolina.
The catalog covers leadership and management, harassment prevention, professional development, technology skills and HRCI and SHRM certification prep. For Scranton employers, demand concentrates where local employment does: health care accounts for 21,069 jobs in Lackawanna County (BLS QCEW, 2025 annual averages).
Yes. Most Catapult courses carry HRCI and SHRM recertification credit, and both bodies run 3-year, 60-credit recertification cycles, so regular attendance keeps HR professionals current without a scramble. Every attendee receives a completion record for their files.
Yes, and it is often the better fit for cohorts of 10 or more. Catapult runs private sessions for Scranton employers live online or on-site, scheduled around your shifts, with the same HRCI and SHRM credit and completion records.
