NYC Mayor's Office of Talent and Workforce Development

Proud to be on such a hardworking, ambitious team that continues to break down barriers and improve services for the New Yorkers who need them most.

On Wednesday, NYC Talent's Abby Jo Sigal joined colleagues from across the city to kickoff the Student Pathways Advisory Council for NYC Public Schools, which is working to ensure all NYC Public Schools students have the onramps to college and career success. Creating this infrastructure will help make our city more prosperous and inclusive. Thank you Merrill Pond, Harini Venkatesh, Degan Mercado Leopold and Melanie Mac for your leadership and commitment to advance this vital work.

On October 9th, The City of New York held a customer service award ceremony to honor the contributions of municipal employees who made the Jobs NYC hiring hall pilot such an incredible success. Among those receiving awards were NYC Talent's Leah Hebert, Daniel Liss, Joe Rhoades, Grant Yanney, Kimberly Howard and Miles Elijah Gamble! From February - July 2024 the city held 26 hiring halls in all 5 boroughs, which resulted in 8500 individuals being connected to jobs, free training and workforce development services. This whole of government approach spanned multiple Deputy Mayor teams and city agencies, leveraging the passion and dedication of hundreds of committed civil servants. NYC Talent is honored to have played a critical role in developing and launching the Jobs NYC pilot and continues to play a strategic role in collaboration with NYC Department of Small Business Services in leading the next phase of Jobs NYC hiring halls. Starting this fall, hiring halls are now a permanent part of the city's workforce development system with events each month across the city. To learn more, visit jobs.nyc.gov.

It's always inspiring to leave an event with more insight and perspective, especially as a panelist, so I am incredibly grateful to Building Energy Exchange for hosting today's "Passive House for Everyone: Are We There Yet?" event moderated by Ken Levenson. It was wonderful to hear from Passive House experts In Cho and Lois B. Arena, PE who along with Ken bring decades of expertise and dedication to this work as practitioners, educators and thought leaders. My main takeaway from these colleagues is how accessible Passive House standards truly are, if we can build the onramps to training, apprenticeships and careers. Fortunately, champions like Building Energy Exchange and The Passive House Network have been lasered focused on building awareness of those onramps through their programming and community of passionate professionals. The NYC Mayor's Office of Talent and Workforce Development is excited to uplift these efforts as we work collectively to decarbonize our built environment and make NYC more sustainable for future generations.
