    About Jobs NYC: Jobseekers

    Overview

    Jobs NYC: Jobseekers is a website that helps residents prepare for and find a job.

    Find programs that are right for you, figure out if you’re eligible, and learn about the next steps. You can also browse a selection of early career jobs with the City of New York.

    What’s on the site

    We feature many free training and adult education programs. You can filter by the types of programs you’re looking for, the timeframe and schedule that work best for you, and location. Programs you can find help you:

    • Find a job, with services like resume help, interview prep, and more.
    • Train for a new job through sector-based training that gives you the skills to start a new career.
    • Connect to internships and short-term work to get on-the-job learning.
    • Get your High School diploma or Equivalency (HSE or GED) with classes to prepare for the HSE exam.
    • Earn college credits or set yourself up for success in college.
    • Improve your English skills if you speak another language.

    If you don’t see a program on the website, you can suggest that it be added. Suggest a program on this form and we’ll get back to you about adding it.

    Our email newsletter gives updates about new programs and hiring events happening across the City. For information targeted towards your needs, you can include information about your location and interests when you sign up.

    Background

    Version 1 of the site launched in August 2020 as Working NYC, and version 2 in May of 2023 as Job Ready NYC. In February 2024, we launched version 3 of the site with additional resources and services for employers, and rebranded as Jobs NYC. The website will continue to evolve to include new features and programs in future iterations.

    Accessibility statement

    The City of New York is committed to ensuring that all New Yorkers can access all of our digital content. To reach that goal, we passed Local Law 26 of 2016, requiring City agencies to make their websites accessible. Our digital content is partially conformant with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA standard with the exceptions set forth at 28 CFR § 35.201 .

    The Digital Accessibility Coordinator, based at the Mayor’s Office for People with Disabilities, also helps work towards these goals. The Coordinator audits websites and guides NYC agencies on how to make their digital content accessible. They run training and events for City employees and the public to learn more about accessibility. The Digital Accessibility Coordinator also leads the effort to write the reports that Local Law 26 requires.
