SPEMN's comprehensive Workforce Needs Assessment is the result of a six-month project to learn from the community (residents, service providers, CBOs, and employers) about the neighborhood strengths and challenges in workforce development. The Needs Assessment will guide the work for the Sunset Park Economic Mobility Network over the next three years as we develop new training and job placement programs for the community.

The SPEMN will secure funding and implement priority workforce development projects each year that will expand local resident employment at waterfront assets in Sunset Park and expand local resident training for innovation industries like the green economy, life sciences, light industrial tech, and creative sectors.
The Network is a connector between Sunset Park families and the waterfront district, maximizing the ability to keep meaningful, family-sustaining jobs in the Sunset Park community and include local families in the waterfront’s economic development and revitalization.
This is a multi-year project funded by NYCEDC.
