NYCHA Resident,
Thanks to the support of the City Council and State Legislature, NYCHA is working with contractors to enhance safety and security measures in NYCHA developments across the five boroughs. As part of NYCHA's efforts to create employment opportunities for residents, the contractors we hire will be required to employ qualified residents. Contractors are looking for workers with the following skills: cable pulling, pipe bending, and basic electrical work.
To ensure that residents are prepared for these opportunities, NYCHA's Office of Resident Economic Empowerment and 
Sustainability (REES) is teaming up with Brooklyn Workforce Innovations to offer a customized 6-week, free cable installation training program. This training will help eligible residents develop the skills needed to work with NYCHA contractors and other private sector employers.
To qualify for the free cable installation training, you must:
- Be an authorized member of a NYCHA household
- Be 21 years or older
- Be eligible to work in the U.S.
- Have a valid NYS driver license
- Pass a drug test
- Pass a reading and math test at the 8th grade level
To learn more, come to one of the following information sessions in December (RSVP required):
Thursday @ 3 p.m. (Dec. 22 only)
Thursdays @ 2 p.m. (Dec. 29)
Tuesdays @ 10 a.m. (Dec. 27)
