What's New

The New York State Department of Labor has received funding under a National Emergency Grant (NEG) to provide assistance to individuals dislocated as a result of a mass layoff or closing at specific financial service businesses.

Individuals:

Only individuals who were dislocated from one of these 31 employers  after May 31, 2008 may be eligible for assistance under this federal grant.  Those individuals who are interested in learning more about the training opportunities available under this grant should download this survey, complete it and email it with their resume to neg.survey@labor.state.ny.us.  Questions about this grant can also be sent to this email.

Training Providers:

A requirement for training under the NEG is that the course identified in an individual’s training plan be on the State’s Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL) established under the Workforce Investment Act.   Any course already approved on the ETPL by a local area is eligible for NEG funded training.  Interested providers are asked to submit a completed copy of the NEG Training Provider Application.
