New York
City’s Workforce1 Career Centers
New York City’s Workforce1 Career Centers connect employers
to a skilled workforce and provide training and placement
services to the City’s adult workforce. Workforce1 Career
Centers are located throughout the five boroughs and provide
jobseekers with a full array of employment services,
including job placement, career counseling, professional
development, and access to training opportunities.
In an effort to link the City’s economic and workforce
development initiatives, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg merged
adult workforce development programs with the Department of
Small Business Services in 2003. The merger resulted in a
single agency that recognizes and responds to the needs of
businesses and jobseekers.
Today, the Workforce1 Career Centers are overseen by the New
York City Department of Small Business Services (SBS). SBS
makes it easier for businesses in New York City to form, do
business, and grow by providing direct assistance to
business owners, fostering neighborhood development in
commercial districts, and linking employers to a skilled and
qualified workforce. SBS operates the Workforce1 Career
Centers in coordination with the
New York State Department of Labor and the City University
of New York.

What is
Financial Aid:
Federal Student Aid, an office of the U.S. Department of
Education, plays a central and essential role in America's
postsecondary education community.
Federal Student Aid's core mission is to ensure that all
eligible individuals benefit from federal financial
assistance—grants, loans and work-study programs—for
education beyond high school.
Another key role we perform is to make students and their
families aware that financial aid is available and is a
necessary first step to further education.
The Federal Student Aid team is passionately committed to
making education beyond high school more attainable for all
Americans, regardless of socioeconomic status.
Grants are a type of financial aid that doesn't have to be
repaid. Sometimes they are referred to as Gift Aid.
Generally, grants are for Undergraduate students and the
grant amount is based on need, Cost of Attendance, and
enrollment status. The maximum Pell Grant award for the
2009-10 award year (July 1, 2009 to June 30, 2010) is
$5,350. For the 2010-11 award year (July 1, 2010 to June 30,
2011), the maximum award is $5,550.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants will
range from $100 to $4,000.
