ALBANY – Nearly 80 community college projects are currently supporting job training across New York as part of this year’s SUNY Workforce Development Grant Program.

The projects are providing job and workforce development training courses to businesses and organizations statewide in order to promote and encourage the location and development of new business in New York and to retain existing employment opportunities. 

“As a result of this program, SUNY’s community colleges are working with more than 100 employers across the state to train nearly 15,000 workers,” said State University Chancellor Nancy Zimpher. “Whether it is teaching English as a second language, training healthcare providers in the use of technology, or helping local employees to hone their leadership skills, community colleges are ideal grounds for workforce development and we are proud to answer New York’s call in this respect.”

A complete list of programs funded by the grant is available online.
