Working for Shared Prosperity
Work Train fosters shared prosperity in Central New York by creating career opportunities for individuals who are unemployed and underemployed, while helping companies build strong workforces. We serve as a workforce intermediary and strategist, convening partnerships that drive solutions to persistent workforce problems. Our flexible and responsive approach allows us to develop and invest in innovative — and often non-traditional—strategies.
An initiative led by CenterState CEO, Work Train is supported by a local Funder Collaborative, which includes the United Way of CNY, Allyn Family Foundation, Central New York Community Foundation, The Dorothy and Marshall M. Reisman Foundation, The Gifford Foundation, the City of Syracuse and Onondaga County – as well as other financial investment from New York State, local employers, and national organizations.
As an Affiliate of the National Fund for Workforce Solutions, Work Train is part of a national network of workforce initiatives implementing best practices and pursuing systems change in their communities.
