About the Office of Talent and Workforce Development

The mission of the Office of Talent and Workforce Development (NYC Talent) is to ensure all New Yorkers can access good paying careers and employers can access New York City's talent so they can thrive today and in the future.

To achieve this mission, NYC Talent aligns efforts across the city's public-private workforce development ecosystem, provides data and policy expertise, and supports program innovations and process improvements for services offered by the City of New York and other workforce stakeholders. NYC Talent works in partnership with government, employers, industry professionals, educational institutions, nonprofits, and philanthropic organizations to ensure the City's workforce development strategy aligns with employer demand, jobseeker needs, and the rapidly changing economy.

Together, we are building a stronger and more agile workforce system that is better equipped to meet the demands of our local economy and labor market while advancing equity and shared prosperity.
