New York City’s Workforce Landscape Report

“New York City’s Workforce Landscape: A network of programs, providers, and organizations foundational for catalyzing a robust and equitable economic recovery,” is an extensive overview of NYC’s existing workforce development ecosystem developed in partnership with New York City Employment & Training Coalition (NYCETC) and the Center for New York City Affairs at The New School (CNYCA). As a culmination of an NYCETC survey to its members, the data generated 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 covers 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.
