NYS Department of Labor in cooperation with the Long Island Forum for Technology and CONNECT L.I. is pleased to offer Transformational and Industry Specific Skills Training to employees of companies enabled by the manufacturing sector, and employees of healthcare providers. Unemployed or recently dislocated workers are welcome but need to apply through their regional Workforce Investment Board. Click here for more information.

The courses are offered as part of the initial Industry Skills Gap Closure Plan developed as part of the NYS DoL Regional Economic Transformational Strategies Grant.

All training costs are sponsored by NYS DoL and are therefore free of charge. The only cost to the company or individual requesting the training is the company time allotted to the individual(s) for travel and course attendance.

Note to Companies registering their incumbent workers: The State mandates that all persons trained through State provided funds be registered in the New York State One Stop Operating System. On the first day of class, the instructor will hand out the State form, collect the information and return it to LIFT in a FEDEX envelope. All information will be kept strictly confidential and will only be used for the sole purpose of fulfilling the requirements of the grant.

Please review the following courses and their dates, locations and times. Courses are offered to companies and their active workers on a "first come - first serve" basis. Seating is limited so please APPLY EARLY!
