NYC Apprenticeship Survey

The Mayor’s Office is conducting a brief anonymous survey to get a better understanding of the types of programs employers are using to address their talent gaps. The Mayor’s Office is interested especially in training programs that qualify as apprenticeships or share key components of an apprenticeship program, since these kinds of programs support an inclusive, thriving economy. This understanding is a key component of the work to reaching the citywide goal of connecting 30,000 New Yorkers to apprenticeships by 2030.
