Hearing Room B, Legislative Office Building
Albany, NY
ORAL TESTIMONY BY INVITATION ONLY
The enacted 2021-2022 State Budget provides both direct and indirect funding for workforce
development programs funded and administered through the Department of Economic
Development, Empire State Development Corporation (d.b.a. Urban Development
Corporation), and Department of Labor, as well as programs administered through New York
State institutions of higher education. During this time, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a
disproportional impact on the unskilled labor force, women, underserved or otherwise
marginalized communities who have historically been on the economic sidelines. It is essential
that any State funds expended to help stimulate the economy and job creation by businesses
and not-for profit employers also meet the needs of those seeking new skills and training
opportunities in a manner that promotes an equitable and inclusive post-pandemic economic
recovery. The Members of the Committees and Commission are seeking information as to the
overall effectiveness of the workforce development programs funded in this year’s enacted
2021-2022 State Budget and administered by various State entities as well as
recommendations to improve and enhance these programs, including ensuring that such
workforce development programs equitably and inclusively meet the needs of both employers
and current and potential workers.
Further, during the economic recovery period following the 2008 Great Recession, workforce
development programs were utilized to help struggling employers and the workforce recover
economic losses. As New York’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic economic recovery
continues, the Committees and Commission are interested in examining what lessons may be
learned from the last economic crisis and applied to the current workforce development
programs funded and administered by the State.
Persons invited to present pertinent testimony to the Committees and Commission at the above
hearing should complete and return the enclosed reply form as soon as possible. It is important
