Developing Stakeholder Understanding

JobsFirst NYC works with community stakeholders to take an in-depth look at the needs of out-of-work and out-of-school young adults. We help neighborhood agencies by sponsoring skills-training opportunities on how to meet the demand of local employers. Other programming includes sponsored research on the population and interaction with government officials to help them coordinate with the community and deliver better outcomes to more young adults.
