School Notes
Our goal is to provide you with quality career education and to
help you develop your talents, skills, and knowledge for a
sustainable career in a strong and viable industry. Laurel Business
Institute, was established in 1985 in Uniontown, Pennsylvania in
order to meet the employment and training needs of the business
community. We were originally located on the eighth floor of the

began growing. We found a new location in 1991 when we purchased
our first building. This structure, pictured above and located on
Penn Street, was formerly West Penn Power and West Penn Railways
Company, Uniontown's primary trolley and bus depot through the
early and mid 1900s. The school's second building (1999), across
the street from the Penn Street facility on the corner of Penn and
Beeson Boulevard, was built in 1924 and was Uniontown's original
downtown Sears, Roebuck and Company. Programs offered at Laurel
Business Institute includes Accounting & Business, Child Care,
Cosmetology, Health Care, Information Technology, Massage, Office
Administration and Certifications.
