New Americans Update presented by the New York State Department of Labor

Friday, May 17, 2024

12:00 pm - 1:00 pm EST via ZOOM

Governor Hochul recently directed the New York State Department of Labor (NYSDOL) to help connect new Americans to employment opportunities immediately after obtaining federal work authorization. All new Americans with work authorization in New York can now register for assistance. NYSDOL's career experts are working with individuals to assess skills, work history, education, career interests and more, and connect them with employers across the State.

In addition to supporting job seekers, NYSDOL has also launched a portal that enables businesses to inform the State that they would welcome newly-authorized individuals into their workforce. This provides a pool of employers with job opportunities for NYSDOL's career experts to align with the skills that new Americans have with the current needs of employers.

NYATEP is thrilled to have those leading this effort to be offering NYATEP Members an overview of the portal and to hear directly what is going on and how you can be involved. Click below to register and a zoom will be sent out closer to the event!
