ASSEMBLYMAN WILLIAM SCARBOROUGH

July 2002

Dear Colleagues:

Since my appointment as Chair of the Legislative Commission On Skills Development and Career Education by Speaker Sheldon Silver in January 2000, I have traveled the State to hear the concerns of our constituents who are employed, unemployed and those studying hard to be part of the State's workforce. I have also met with business leaders, industry spokespersons and economists who recognize the trends that are before us and the foundations needed to be built to strengthen our workforce and our economy. The events of September 11th, 2001 have given us a deeper consciousness of our needs to perfect our skills training efforts. Our Commission has been examining what programs work, what research still needs to be done and what will help heal and develop our State's workforce needs.

My priorities as Chair remain committed to that effort. We must continue to strengthen programs for training for currently employed workers; improve opportunities for the employed to better their position in life; continue to fund programs that will relieve others from dependence on public assistance; train our youth in careers that show promise and strong possibilities; and assist our higher education institutions to become stronger forces in economic development opportunities.

The Commission has prepared this Catalog of Workforce Preparation Programs available in 2001 representing over $1 Billion in spending on workforce preparation. It gives a clear description of the programs, the eligibility; the appropriations, and those communities served by each program. I hope you will note that the transition from JTPA (Job Training Partnership Act) funding sources to the present WIA (Workforce Investment Act) continues to be included in this catalog to show the progression of continued programs where necessary. Those programs not continued, however, are listed in the addendum in the back of the catalog.

I hope you find the catalog useful and informative. If you have any questions, please contact the Commission at (518/455-4865). You may also access the Catalog on the Assembly website: http://www.assembly.state.ny.us

It is important that I get your input on these and other issues of concern to you. I intend to be a strong advocate for skills development activities for all New Yorkers and invite you to contact me or the Commission with those concerns.

Sincerely,

signature

WORKFORCE PREPARATION PROGRAM 2001 CATALOG

Introduction

The 2001 Catalog of Workforce Preparation Programs contains information about 73 workforce preparation programs that provide education, training activities and services to employed and unemployed adults and youth. While some programs are administered directly by State agencies, others provide grants for programs implemented through schools, colleges, community-based organizations, and professional associations.

New York's Workforce Preparation Programs

Workforce preparation programs are the tools by which we upgrade our labor force to generate the highly competitive and skilled body of New Yorkers who keep our State's economy afloat. The workforce preparation programs train the young entering the workforce, help the economically disadvantaged attain better skills and reintroduce those workers dislocated by adverse conditions back into the work arena. The workforce preparation programs are there also to encourage those already employed. Programs are available to assist workers to improve their lot by upgrading their skills and abilities, making them more competitive additions to the States' workforce team.

The programs listed in this Catalog represent a considerable financial investment of federal and state money that supports our economy and our business community and helps our workers to be part of a more productive, creative and competitive workforce. Critical to a thriving economy is a skilled, confident and well-prepared labor force. Business needs to access readily trained workers, skilled in the basics of efficient and productive job competencies and aptitudes.

New York State's workforce preparation programs can be categorized in several ways:

  • Programs that exist to reintroduce unemployed workers to the labor market with adequate skills and job proficiencies;

  • Programs that assist the already employed with retaining and upgrading of their skills while retaining their jobs;

  • Programs to facilitate the re-entry of previously employed workers into the labor force by giving them skills development, and

  • Programs for the economically disadvantages who desperately need to reduce their economic dependency providing them with the means to successfully enter and compete in the labor market.

New York's Economic Realities

Efforts to ensure economic growth have been a major part of the Assembly's efforts for 2001 in spite of the devastating losses to the State since the September 11th tragedy. New York City alone lost over 130,000 jobs. Efforts to rebuild lower Manhattan are in full gear with major tax incentives, relief grants and an abundance of low-cost loans to retain businesses, protect jobs and provide skills development for the workforce. The Upstate economy, too, has suffered. The Assembly, however, continues to ensure that Upstate communities will be reinforced with economic development and revitalization strategies.

Critical to keeping our economy afloat and our businesses in tact is the production of an educated and well-trained workforce. The composition of New York's labor force continues to change over the decades, as does the workplace environment. Overall, the need for advanced levels of education and training is expected to greatly increase in the years ahead. The trend has been for jobs requiring college education to grow while other jobs formerly considered non-college levels are now requiring higher levels of education and training.

Today's workers, whether new or experienced, must engage in a continuing process of developing their skills to perform effectively in changing work environments. Workers and employers need to be increasingly informed about available and emerging employment and training options in order to make decisions that will ensure both their short-and long-term success.

If you wish to obtain more information on any one of the entries in the Catalog, a contact person had been identified for each program. If you have any questions or would like additional information about the Catalog, please contact the Commission at 518/455-4865.
