The success of our efforts to respond to employer needs relies of the strength of our partnerships. These collaborations are forged to meet the specific skill demands of businesses and the challenges of preparing workers with the right mix for success on the job and through their careers.

The Alliance’s Industry Specific Advisory Councils (ISACs) are designed to identify employment trends and skill shortages so that we can develop and implement relevant strategies for workforce preparation and career advancement by industry sector. The ISAC employer partnership provides senior executives with the infrastructure to organize information and improve training opportunities on the demand side of the labor market. Local businesses use the ISACs to improve incumbent worker training systems and develop employee and public sector connections to industry.

Alliance ISACs represent Hospitality, Retail, Telecommunications and Technology, Printing and Graphic Communications, Financial Services and Health Care industry sectors.

Our Association Leadership Committee brings together industry experts to identify and respond to business needs in these sectors in light of recent events that have created specific economic and workforce development challenges for New York City.

The Alliance will regularly post news and reports on labor market trends, industry sectors, and effective workforce development practices and model programs. We welcome any news or reports on industry trends or HR practices that can help service providers and workforce development policy analysts better understand employer and industry-specific needs. If you are participating in a job fair or other recruitment drive, let us know.
