In partnership with the Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities (MOPD) STRIVE New York has launched a pilot program dedicated to helping individuals with disabilities overcome the unique barriers they face while navigating the workforce.
This tailored Administrative Support training program is employer demand-driven and matches individual graduates to targeted positions. Students prepare for a range of jobs in Healthcare, Customer Service and Office Administration in high-growth sectors.
"In the digital age, no person should struggle for access to quality and meaningful employment simply because they are living with a disability," said Assistant Commissioner of Workforce and Business Development at MOPD Martha Jackson.
"STRIVE understands what it takes to help a person facing multiple barriers build a career they truly love and achieve financial empowerment. I can think of no better organization to partner with on this initiative than STRIVE."
Graduates of this pilot will be trained in written and verbal communications, Microsoft Suite, conflict resolution, DEI, and more. As STRIVE alumni, they will have lifetime access to our services including resume building, job placement and wellness support.
