The Division accomplishes its mission by acting as a major educational force in Western Pennsylvania serving the needs of any constituent without regard to their location. In addition, it fosters professional and personal development by sharing the knowledge and expertise of the university and making the university's resources available to diverse populations of all ages. |

- Enhance economic development of the region through effective workforce development programs
- Provide programs to assist citizens of all ages in becoming better stewards of the Earth’s resources through the McKeever Environmental Center and the Pennsylvania Center for Environmental Education
- Assist area businesses in acquiring workforce training grants as a Local Education Agent for the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development
