We are a coalition of CEOs who understand the collective power and responsibility of the private sector to drive change.
Working with education partners, local government, and community organizations, we are breaking down barriers to careers and opening the door wider to local talent. We are creating new, more accessible pathways to in-demand jobs and closing the gap between the classroom and the workplace.
As a collective we have committed to hiring 100,000 low-income New Yorkers by 2030 – including 25,000 graduates from the City University of New York (CUNY). We are now 40% of the way there and have learned first-hand that when New Yorkers have equal access to opportunities, everyone wins.
Since 2021, our CEOs have hired:
39,954
low-income New Yorkers into family-sustaining jobs
