These results continue to shape workforce development practices and policy from the P-12 system to higher education and among training providers across New York State.

"This year, we are again partnering to gather real-time feedback on the state of the workforce and the needs of businesses in 2023!"

NOTE: Collective results from this survey will be used by the State to address needs. Individual responses will be kept confidential.
