New York State HELP Virtual Career Fair - May 11, 2023

DOL-SNIP

New York State agencies are hiring critical direct care and health and safety positions across New York State. To help agencies fill these critical positions, the Department of Civil Service has developed a hiring program that streamlines the appointment process to allow State agencies to hire diverse, qualified permanent employees quickly and without examinations.

The Hiring for Emergency Limited Placement (HELP) Program temporarily removes the civil service exam requirement for more than 100 direct care, health and safety titles for thousands of positions across State agencies.

State agencies will be hiring new employees under the HELP Program beginning April 5, 2023 through March 31, 2024. New State employees hired under the HELP Program will be appointed on a permanent basis.

To support these efforts, they are holding a virtual career fair on Thursday, May 11th from 11am-2pm.
