“Connecting individuals to meaningful opportunities transforms lives,” said AMNY Workforce Development expert, Kim Roberson. “When we uplift our residents, we strengthen our entire community.”

Numerous stakeholders and funding sources make workforce development a complex system, yet AMNY’s extensive research and strategic partnerships across New York State have fostered a deep understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities in this evolving field.

These partnerships include:

  • Advocacy & Awareness Organizations that play a vital role in securing funding, building partnerships and developing resources to support workforce development initiatives.
  • Non-profits, community colleges and other educational organizations that connect individuals with life-changing programs through strategic promotion to specific and often underrepresented communities.
  • Local Companies that develop their own programs and partner with organizations that offer training and education to build a skilled workforce while enhancing their reputation as responsible corporate citizens.
  • Economic development groups and industry-specific needs that drive unique workforce development initiatives, such as local chambers that focus on talent acquisition and organizations that support specialized skill development (e.g., healthcare, education, manufacturing).

With a mission to connect individuals with life-changing opportunities, AMNY is passionate about building stronger communities through workforce development. To be a partner in this initiative, please reach out to Kim Roberson at kroberson@advancemediany.com.
