• Job Description

  Req#: 210461711

  The New York Jobs CEO Council is an action-oriented coalition led by the Chief Executive Officers of some of the largest employers in New York, including JP Morgan Chase. The Jobs Council fosters collaboration between corporate, education, government, and nonprofit leaders to prepare New York area for the future of work and meet employer talent needs.

  The NY Jobs CEO Council is a non-profit organization whose goal is to provide access to high-potential jobs for 100,000 low-income New Yorkers, especially for Black, LatinX and Asian communities, including 25,000 from the City University of New York (CUNY).

  Our economy and the nature of work are fundamentally evolving. Many New Yorkers—especially in low-income and diverse communities—have either been left behind or did not have the opportunity to keep up in the first place.

  The future of New York City’s economy and workforce requires breaking down industry and educational silos and opening the door to local talent.
