NEW YORKERS CAN MAKE IT ANYWHERE 

BUT WE ALL WIN WHEN THEY MAKE IT HERE

Exceptional companies are distinguished by exceptional talent, and New York is flush with exceptional talent.

That’s why our CEOs have hired 40,000 low-income New Yorkers into family-sustaining jobs at their companies since 2021, including nearly 8,000 recent graduates from the City University of New York. This success stems from partnering with education institutions and training providers to ensure job seekers are equipped with the skills and competencies employers value. Our work is focused on supporting stronger outcomes for society and business by building a workforce that is reflective of our city’s rich diversity.

The business case for hiring low-income, early career New Yorkers is clear as our companies are benefitting from higher retention and lower turnover rates when compared to their early career peers. Now, we want to help other employers reap the same benefits.
