2009 NYCETC Events
In addition to the Opportunity Awards Reception, NYCETC holds a number of events that unite the workforce development community and provide essential information on breaking news and trends. The Awards program takes place over six months, from the announcement of the competition in October, an open house for potential applicants in November, to judging of submissions after the mid-December deadline, through promotion of the winners early in the year and on to the Opportunity Awards Reception in the Spring. The events calendar we offered last year includes the following:
