Building Skills New York, a non-profi t
that connects underserved New Yorkers
with good-paying jobs on local construction
sites, announced that it has secured
335 job placements since the start of
2019. This represents an increase of
more than 42 percent over the number
of placements secured during 2018.
BSNY’s growing number of worker
placements is largely attributed to a
more robust worker pipeline, driven by
strong referrals from workforce development
partners and BSNY’s increasingly
effi cient jobseeker intake process.
Improved effi ciency in referrals, worker
screening and intake has resulted in a
rising jobseeker acceptance rate – up
16 percent compared to 55 percent in
2018. During 2019, BSNY has added
over 1,000 job candidates to its worker
pipeline, all of whom have either been
placed in or are in the process of being
placed in local construction jobs.
In 2019, BSNY also facilitated a signifi
cant number of Site Safety Trainings
to ensure prospective workers were up
to date on New York City’s new safety
requirements. Together with a variety of
city-wide partners BSNY provided 246
OSHA-30 trainings and 55 10-Hour trainings,
for a total of 311 free trainings.
Building Skills is dedicated to providing
construction jobs and trainings to
typically underemployed, minority New
Yorkers. In 2019, 97 percent of workers
placed by BSNY identify as Black or
Latino. These placements and trainings
help New Yorkers revitalize their neighborhoods
and get on a path to long-term
success for themselves and their families.
