The Westchester-Putnam Workforce Investment Board will receive approximately $9.9 million through a federal program that supports partnerships between employers, nonprofit organizations and job training programs to connect Americans ready to work with jobs that are ready to be filled.

The grant from the U.S. Department of Labor”™s Ready to Work Partnership was announced jointly by New York”™s U.S. Sens. Charles E. Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand. They said  the $9,868,337 allocation will help long-unemployed residents in Westchester, Putnam, Dutchess, Rockland and Orange counties find jobs requiring middle to high skills. The Westchester-Putnam workforce board is one of 23 organizations nationwide to receive funding through the Ready to Work program.

The senators said the board, which oversees the state”™s One-Stop Employment Centers and workforce development programs in Westchester and Putnam counties, will use the funds for outreach and recruitment to better connect workers with the kinds of organizations looking to hire; to provide training and support services to unemployed residents who require retraining for jobs in information technology, advanced manufacturing, health care and other high-demand industries; and develop strategies to increase the number of middle- and high-skilled job placements in the two counties.
