Accountability.
is embedded into the design of community hiring, as we are required to publish quarterly reports on contracts subject to community hiring goals.
These reports include aggregate and vendor-specific progress towards goals and information about placements and demographics of community hires.
Regular reporting will not only increase transparency, but will also provide a long-term opportunity for the city to continuously improve the program by identifying opportunities for targeted outreach,
where training programs could be developed to better align the skills of job seekers with the needs of city vendors.
While we are still building some of the necessary digital infrastructure, we have published nine quarterly reports to date, all of which can be found on our website, nyc.gov slash community hiring.
Under the leadership of Mayor Mumdani and Deputy Mayor for Economic Justice, Truly Sue, we are committed to strengthening the workforce system as essential public infrastructure to connect New Yorkers to opportunity.
Community hiring is an important tool that strategically leverages city contracts to drive employers and jobs to the public workforce system, while also improving interconnectivity across city agencies.
Vendors and programs so that job seekers and businesses mutually benefit.
