The GACC Pittsburgh Chapter seeks to expand bilateral commercial ties and exchange our knowledge and innovations between Germany and the United States. Our day-to-day focus is expanding the German Dual Apprenticeship system with employer partners throughout the region through four registered apprenticeships, pre-apprenticeships, and other workforce development programs.
GACC-PIT was founded in 2015 and is a private, non-profit organization that serves as the official representative of German trade in Western Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio. We are an international network of 140 German foreign chambers of commerce worldwide and have government offices in 92 countries. Members enjoy the benefits of commercial services, advisory, networking & delegation events, availability of a professional team with transatlantic expertise, visibility for their brand on our digital and print channels, exclusive invitations to events and conferences, publications and databases, visa and legal services, career support, and more.
