Our Mission

The NYC Employment & Training Coalition (NYCETC) works to ensure that every New Yorker — especially those who have been historically marginalized and disenfranchised and cut off from workforce opportunities — has access to the skills, training, and education needed to thrive in the local economy, and that every business is able to maintain a highly skilled workforce.

Our Values

Access and Equity: Ensure talent gains the skills to access quality jobs that include a living wage and basic benefits, career building opportunities, stable and predictable scheduling, and safety and security.

Market-Driven Talent Development: Build strong ties with the business community, city and state government, and philanthropy to invest in employment pathways that grow a diverse & expanded workforce in the ‘new’ New York City economy.
