NYCETC Joins the Mayor in Support of Community Hiring Legislation



On Friday, May 19th, NYCETC joined Mayor Adams along with members of the New York State Black, Puerto Rican, Hispanic, and Asian Caucus, union officials and community advocates to urge state lawmakers to pass legislation authorizing community hiring provisions for New York City. The proposed legislation — part of Mayor Adams’ “Working People’s Agenda” — would empower the city to set local hiring requirements in city-funded contracts, connecting an estimated 36,000 New Yorkers from economically disadvantaged communities to apprenticeship opportunities and jobs annually.

“As the largest workforce development association in the country, we know that access to local talent will open job opportunities that will allow working people to fulfill their potential and families to thrive,” said Gregory J Morris, CEO, New York City Employment and Training Coalition. We stand firmly in support of the Adams administration’s commitment to community hiring legislation that levels the playing field so that no neighborhood is left out of the post-pandemic recovery. We will continue to be relentless in our shared efforts to advance and champion the intersection of workforce development and economic development, so that every New Yorker has a pathway to stability and financial independence.”

FY24 Budget Hearing: Department of Small Business Services


On Tuesday, May 16, the New York City Council Committees on Finance and Small Business held a joint hearing to review the proposed budget for the Department of Small Business Services (SBS) for Fiscal Year 2024 (FY2024). The City’s Executive Financial Plan, released in late April, allocates $197.4 million for SBS, an increase of $33.2 million from the Preliminary Financial Plan released in January. Major takeaways for the workforce community included the following: 

  • The administration sees the post-pandemic recovery as essentially complete. SBS Commissioner Kevin Kim cited recent analysis from the City’s Economic Development Corporation finding that tourism spending in New York City is now 110 percent of pre-pandemic levels, and that as of April, the city had recovered 99.7 percent of private sector employment from early 2020—a milestone many predicted New York would not reach until 2025 or later. Commissioner Kim also noted that one in every nine New York City businesses that exist today have opened within the past year. 
  • SBS continues to cede much of its traditional workforce role to the Mayor’s Office of Talent and Workforce Development (NYC Talent)Most of the 20 percent increase for SBS over the Preliminary Plan will support additional staff positions and new needs for NYC Talent. Two of the new needs, an expansion of the CUNY2x Tech Program and the creation of a Center for Workplace Accessibility and Inclusion, will operate out of NYC Talent. That Office also will gain a number of staff positions to manage those two projects as well as other workforce responsibilities.

NYCETC attends City & State's Cannabis in New York Summit


Screenshot of the City & State in NY Summit Header.

On May 19, NYCETC attended City & State’s Cannabis in NY Summit at the Museum of Jewish Heritage. As the first state to create a cannabis industry with a social equity model at the forefront, New York State has experienced a slower than desired rollout and as Chris Alexander, Executive Director of NYS Office of Cannabis Management explains, "the slow rollout is the product of a choice that we have made as a state. The choice to do the hard thing. To make sure that those who are impacted have an opportunity to participate in a meaningful way.” 

The summit delved into the unique challenges NYS faces as it builds the industry, including the sourcing capital for new licensees and the role of workforce development in building good quality jobs in cannabis, all aspects that go into the success of this industry. Capital sourcing is key for entrepreneurs entering the industry - many being legacy operators. This means NYS will have to get creative in engaging the banks and funders to encourage them to provide capital to new licensees while also dealing with the federal challenges of engaging with cannabis businesses. Concurrently, the workforce development strategy is also key in providing interested career seekers pathways to good quality jobs. Experts explained that it will require a network of high quality training and placement through CBO’s, city colleges and universities, and partnerships with elected officials.

To register, email nycworkforcefunders@gmail.com with your name, title, and organization.

New York needs to invest in its workforce



Read the Op-ed: New York needs to invest in its workforce by Gregory J Morris, CEO of the NYC Employment and Training Coalition. Morris writes on the crucial investments needed for the city's workforce and the workforce development system: "Budgets are statements of our values. In a city where 50% of working-age New Yorkers are struggling to cover their basic needs, we must double down on the most promising job training initiatives while we expand broadband access and childcare. We can get this done; we just need to invest in our workforce instead of pretending we can’t afford to."
