Aldebol asks how DCAS amplifies program information to employees
Aldebol asks how DCAS gets the word out about programs; Porter describes monthly meetings with about 200 agency personnel officers, and Outar notes direct emails and information sessions for scholarship programs.
And how are you amplifying those message across city agencies and how are you getting the word out?
Again, all of these programs sound wonderful, but if people don't know about them, they won't take advantage of them.
Yes.
So we have a community.
of HR professionals that we meet with on a monthly basis.
They're called agency personnel officers.
It's about 200 professionals from across city government representing all city agencies.
And we have programs like CUNY Reconnect come and present information and share resources at this meeting so that those APOs can then share that information with employees at their agency.
So that's just like high level how we help to amplify programs like CUNY Reconnect.
And I'll just, sorry, add in terms of like our graduate and scholarship programs, we send that information directly to the city employees.
So that way they're able to determine interest and then we host information sessions so they can ask more questions.
So we go through the APO pathway, but also try to get a direct path to the employees when possible.
I'm going to turn it over to Council Member Narcisse if you have any questions.
Thank you, Chair.
Thank you for being here.
