ABOUT NY WORKFORCE CONNECT

NY Workforce Connect aims to break down silos through conversation and strategic networking. The annual summit will highlight collaborations that the local workforce development community can capitalize on by working together to enhance our region's economic stability and prosperity. The regional meetups will explore spaces, programs and/or initiatives designed to foster a cohesive and growing workforce and economic growth opportunities.

All events will feature diverse perspectives from speakers about industry hot topics, a workforce expo, and networking opportunities with key regional stakeholders.

Industry professionals – from the education, government, nonprofit, construction, healthcare and other sectors – will gather for a day of learning and networking. Our events are always evolving and changing based on the needs of the industry.

Speakers will dive deep into various topics and viewpoints from across the industry. There will be time to ask questions and interact with the panelists at any event.

I attended the inaugural conference hosted by NY Workforce Connect on the beautiful Syracuse University campus. Today was jam packed with critical information and best practices to recruit, upskills, and retain a strong NY state workforce.

We need ALL the microphones to share and discuss as a community so we can keep pushing for change. Access to care for ourselves and those we love... it's not hard to get amped to talk about it. It's the conversation we need to be having.
