How We Work
Community organizations work hard to respond to the needs of so many young adults. They need resources to expand their services and expert advice on how to navigate the system. Young adults in low-income neighborhoods need better access and support to get the knowledge and skills required to succeed. Businesses need a skilled and motivated workforce, and funders need investment opportunities that provide stronger outcomes for more young adults.
JobsFirst NYC connects all of these complex audiences, institutions, and interests. As a broker of ideas and relationships, we bring the right people together to ensure youth have the right connections to become work ready.
JobsFirst NYC fosters collaborative partnerships among:
- Job training providers looking to work with peers to provide more comprehensive services.
- Foundations and government entities seeking to invest in better models for stronger outcomes.
- Employers seeking a skilled and ready workforce—today and in the future
