Together you will develop an Employment Plan that will enable you to set realistic and attainable goals. It is our job to help you obtain the skills you need to secure meaningful employment.

Classroom Training

Some of the services that we can provide to assist you in pursuing a career are:

Career assessment including interest, abilities, and literacy testing
Identification of existing skills and if they can transfer to a new industry
Resume review and assistance
Financial assistance to attend short-term (one year or less) vocational skills training at a NYS approved training institution (www.wdsny.org)
Supportive services while attending classes, such as child care and transportation allowances; books/supplies; uniforms and/or tools allowances
Job placement assistance upon graduation

On-the-Job Training

This training program allows employers to hire motivated workers. You as the new employee will receive the necessary training directly from the employer. Niagara County Employment & Training then reimburses the employer with a percentage of the wages paid during the contracted training period.
