The Workforce Division of the CPC was created in 1975 in response to an acute need for skilled workers in New York City.  The program’s primary mission is to provide advanced services, skill upgrades, and employment related resources to individuals who are motivated to advance their careers.

 The CPC’s training, placement, and post placement support service methods are characterized by its highly individualized and goal-oriented approach.  This proven formula has brought the Workforce Division a long and distinguished track record that is highlighted by many awards and accolades it has received, including official commendations by the New York City Department of Employment recognizing the CPC as one of the best in training clients and placing them with top companies across the city.  Currently, the CPC Workforce Division is by far the most successful of the service providers that worked with the September 11^th Fund in the Employment Assistance Program, with the best placement, retention, and wage recovery/wage gain rates of any EAP service provider.

 The Division is now working with Workforce One to provide much needed skill training and placement services to individuals on public assistance.  Currently available areas of training include:
