creating pathways to better careers and economic growth
Sometimes in Workforce Development, we hear of stories that could have a negative impact on our Workforce and, ultimately, our Community.
But, as we've mentioned in our Board Meetings, "when we come together and put our differences aside we can do great things!"
It was realized today that Primal Meats will be closing their stores in Albany and in Wilton.
We could not be more proud to share how our partners at the New York State Department of Labor - specifically, Kathleen & Taylor - along with Price Chopper Supermarkets-Market 32 - Ben Bishop & Amelia Bly - have collaborated so quick to coordinate this Meat Department Hiring Event.
This event will take place now NEXT TUESDAY, March 3 at both their (Price Chopper Supermarkets-Market 32) locations off Route 50 Wilton and off Albany-Shaker Road in Albany. It'll run from 1pm tom 4pm featuring featuring open interviews, cutting tests, same-day job offers for qualified candidates, competitive pay, growth and leadership opportunities.

Success stories.
As a single parent, Desiree worked various low paying jobs from retail to daycare to support herself and her two daughters. It was with the help and encouragement of an Employment Specialist at the City of Albany, Department of Youth and Workforce Services and through the services offered through the One- STOP Center, that she discovered that she had a passion for Nursing. During her sessions with the team at the Department of Youth and Workforce Services, she developed a comprehensive career plan that included training providers, financial cost & tuition assistance programs, and clear short term goals. Fast forward, Desiree secured a position at an area nursing home, while training as a certified nursing assistant. Obtained her C.N. A. license and worked very hard to support her two daughters through college. This year, Desiree enrolled in LPN Classes at BOCES after attending the Financial Aid for Training Workshop. Desiree was eligible to use federal funding through the Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act to offset tuition cost. Desiree enrolled and attended the Licensed Practical Nursing Program (BOCES) and graduated in June 2020. She is currently working as an LPN and hopes to continue her education in pursuing her Bachelor of Nursing RN degree.
