New York City Council · Oct 16, 2026 · starts 0:33:24 · 41 sec

Aldebol asks whether outreach has increased training participation; Outar says participation grew from about 13,000 to over 20,000 employees over three years, with classes filling up and more sessions added.

Shirley Aldebol

Have you seen an increase in the number of employees taking trainings due to your outreach?

Shirley Aldebol

What have been your metrics in terms of?

Kadian Outar

Yeah, so that's what I previously cited where back about three years ago, we started at about 13,000 individual test takers.

Kadian Outar

And now we're, I'm sorry, folks that are taking our training.

Kadian Outar

So now we have about 20,000 people that are taking our training.

Kadian Outar

So we have seen a steady increase in that.

Kadian Outar

What we're also seeing is that the classroom are filled and more people are asking for training.

Kadian Outar

So we're going back and including more classes to satisfy the needs of the employees.
