GREATER SYRACUSE WORKS
Building a collaborative impact model for workforce development
ABOUT
Since it was established in 1999, Greater Syracuse Works has leveraged over $10 million in state and federal grants to help community agencies provide employment and training opportunities for low-income residents.
In 2020, the Syracuse Community Center Collaborative assumed leadership of GSW and has reinvigorated its convening role. Together with PEACE Inc, the Collaborative has engaged new member organizations to generate a new deal for workforce development in Greater Syracuse by building synergies among programs and tearing down silos around workforce development.
