Job Placement Services
In New York State, the Food Stamp Employment and Training Program provides employment and training services for recipients of Food Stamp Benefits to help them toward self-sufficiency. At a minimum, all local social services districts offer Job Search and Job Readiness Training. Other districts offer work experience, on-the-job training, vocational training, education and job skills training. Individuals who are interested in receiving these services should contact or visit their local department of social services.
In addition, the State’s Workforce New York One-Stop system provides services through a network of local One Stop Centers and affiliate sites. Services include labor market information; current job listings; job search, résumé preparation and interviewing techniques; a computer resource room for job search activities; assessment of skills and aptitudes; employment counseling and training and education programs.
