In case you missed it on September 1, NYCETC released our new report, “New York City’s Workforce Landscape: A network of programs, providers, and organizations foundational for catalyzing a robust and equitable economic recovery,an extensive overview of New York City’s existing workforce development ecosystem using results from a survey developed in partnership with Workforce Professionals Training Institute (WPTI) and the Center for New York City Affairs at The New School (CNYCA).



The report surveyed 143 organizations across the five boroughs. The organizations are as diverse as the New York communities they serve, varying in their size, scope and budget. The respondents work across a variety of in-demand fields; with sectors like technology, construction, and healthcare reporting the highest number of training and programs citywide.



The results of the survey details the size, scope, and budget of the organizations that make up New York City’s workforce ecosystem; outlines the areas of service, modes of program delivery, and range of certificates and trainings offered; and describes the current state of affairs for the sector in 2022, underscoring the top challenges, needs, and priorities of workforce providers.  The report sheds light on how providers are reconciling the pressures of client recruitment and staff retention with the demand to expand services. This administrative burden has been noticeable following the global pandemic, as funding sources have become more limited even as organizations have been forced to invest in new technology in order to pivot for programming in virtual settings.



The report brings forth preliminary insight on patterns emerging from the survey data reported by providers, including: the impact of Covid-19 on providers, a stressful environment wrought by the pandemic coinciding with budget cuts and under capacity in training programs.

“As the Workforce Landscape report highlights, New York City's workforce development community has and will continue to play an important role in fortifying the most vibrant economy in the world," said Maria Torres-Springer, NYC Deputy Mayor for Economic and Workforce Development. "The administration looks forward to working with the NYC Employment and Training Coalition and its membership towards a shared goal of building a workforce that not only recovers from the impacts of the pandemic but thrives in its wake."




“As the Chair of the Committee on Economic Development, I know how crucial it is to create access to economic stability and generational wealth for all New Yorkers. There is no path to an equitable economic recovery without holistic and quality job access in the communities who need it the most. I applaud the New York City Employment Training Coalition for their extensive report on how our City must continue to support and invest in workforce development. New York City has so much opportunity and is full of hard-working people, and it is essential we support their growth and success,” said Council Member Amanda Farias (D-18). “I look forward to working with Mayor Eric Adams, the Office of Workforce Development, and my colleagues in the New York City Council to continue fighting for workers rights and investments in centralized job pipelines.” 

“One of the first hearings held this session by the Committee on Oversight and Investigations, which I chair, was focused on the City’s siloed workforce development programs,” said Council Member Gale A. Brewer (D-06). “I am encouraged by the administration’s response to my office on this topic and look forward to the benefits of further investment in training initiatives. Cooperation between government and nonprofits is pivotal to a successful and equitable transition to a digital economy. The latest report from NYCETC on the City’s workforce landscape makes clear that there is more work to do.”

“New York City has always been a source of economic strength for the state and the country. The service providers who help connect our talented workforce to better careers are essential to that strength,” said Annie Garneva, Interim CEO of the New York City Employment and Training Coalition. “This report and our experience over the last two years further confirm that our city has a lot more to do to ensure every New Yorker has the opportunity to access the skills and training they need to thrive. To do so, we must fully fund and support the groups on the ground who help our workers and businesses grow.”
