EMPLOYMENT PROGRAMS

The New York City Council has created a unique partnership linking labor unions, community groups and a network of respected workforce providers to mobilize efforts that will benefit job seekers, the under-employed and the unemployed New Yorkers.

Jobs to Build On (JtBO) helps you find the right career by focusing on industries that are growing jobs. All services, including job preparation and job placement are absolutely free. The JtBO Network is sponsored by the council’s Black, Latino and Asian Caucus and the New York City Central Labor Council’s

Consortium for Workers Education (CWE). It is funded by the council.

To be eligible for JtBO services, you must:

Be at least 18 years of age
Have proof of address
Be unemployed or underemployed
Be actively seeking employment or vocational training
If you are interested in participating in the JtBO program,
please contact LaTonya Nelson at 718-852-6004 ext. 272 or email here.

MAKE A CONTRIBUTION

Online donations are a cost-effective way to support a veteran and their families. Gifts may be made monthly or in honor/in memory of an individual or organization. We depend on your support.
