By its composition, the LWDB facilitates a partnership approach to meeting the needs of business, providing career opportunities for workers, and assuring meaningful education and employment experiences for youth. The Board composition should align with an approach to workforce development which recognizes it as an economic development tool. All meetings of the Onondaga County Workforce Development Board are open to the public and will be held at 960 James Street, Syracuse, NY 13203.

CNY Works is an American Job Center that provides a single point of entry and a full menu of services for job seekers and employed customers. Our job seeker customers receive universal access to comprehensive employment services and tools for job readiness. The Center provides local labor market information for job seekers to be able to make more informed decisions about their career choices.

CNY Works, the Onondaga County Workforce Development Board, and our local youth wish to extend our utmost appreciation for the generous contribution recieved from the Allyn Family Foundation in support of the 2018 Summer Youth Employment Program! Each year, CNY Works receives limited Federal grant funding to provide eligible youth meaningful work readiness and financial literacy programs, which culminate in a six-week paid work experience at one of the many participating Work Sites.
