Mayor Bloomberg and Speaker Quinn Open New Workforce1 Veterans Career Center.

Workforce1 Veterans Center Will Help Place Veterans in Jobs and Increase Employment Among the Veteran Community in New York City

Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, Speaker Christine C. Quinn and Small Business Services Commissioner Robert W. Walsh today celebrated the opening of the new Workforce1 Veterans Career Center located at 60 Madison Avenue in Manhattan. The dedicated center represents a significant component of the Workforce1 Veterans Employment Initiative, which was launched with the support of Robin Hood -- New York's largest poverty-fighting organization -- and the Mayor's Fund to Advance New York City, which is dedicated to supporting public-private partnerships and is working with Robin Hood on a range of veteran-specific efforts. The new Workforce1 Veterans Career Center will offer intensive career services and training opportunities to veterans and their spouses, work with employers committed to hiring veterans, and help connect more veterans to stable and meaningful employment across the city. In 2011, Workforce1 helped place more than 800 veterans in jobs, and through the new services the City is expected to increase the number of veterans served to 1,250 per year -- an increase of more than 50 percent. The Mayor made the announcement at the new center on Madison Avenue and 26th Street, where he was also joined by Mayor's Office of Veterans Affairs Commissioner Terrance Holliday, Council Member Mathieu Eugene, Center Manager Anthony Morvillo and Robin Hood Managing Director Eric Weingartner.
