The New York Jobs CEO Council will work with community groups and educators to kick start the careers of those often shut out of opportunities.
A group of CEOs, including the heads of JPMorgan Chase and Google, are banding together with the goal of hiring 100,000 New Yorkers who are disadvantaged or people of color over the next decade. The New York Jobs CEO Council will work with community groups and educators to kick start the careers of those often shut out of opportunities, offering training, apprenticeships and entry-level positions at the major companies run by the council members.
Those businesses, which range from media to finance to medicine, include Goldman Sachs, Amazon and Mastercard. “Many New Yorkers are stuck in low-paying jobs that could be lost in the future, or are struggling to navigate the labor market as the COVID-19 crisis has further exacerbated the economic inequities in the city,’’ Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase and a council co-chairman, said in a statement. “As companies with a long-standing commitment to the New York area and its residents, we are using our collective power to prepare the city’s workforce with the skills of the future and helping New Yorkers who have been left behind get a foot in the door.”More accusations against McDonald's ex-CEO:
