Make Apprenticeships Free in NYC: How to Access Mayor’s Office Grant Funding for Skills-Based Hiring
February 25 | 11:00 AM EST
NYC employers have a unique opportunity right now: access Mayor’s Office grant funding that makes registered apprenticeships fully funded.
That means you can hire, upskill, or reskill talent at no cost — while aligning your workforce strategy with the City’s growing focus on skills-based hiring and measurable workforce outcomes.
If you lead Talent Acquisition, Learning & Development, Talent Management, HR Strategy, or Workforce Planning, this session is designed for you.
Why This Matters Now
Across federal, state, and local levels, government investment is rapidly shifting toward skills-first workforce models. NYC is actively advancing this strategy through employer-facing funding mechanisms, and organizations that understand how to leverage these resources will have a competitive advantage in attracting and developing talent.
This is not just a training conversation.
It’s a workforce strategy conversation.
