Overview

The Centers for Careers in Government are here! Staff located in offices throughout New York state are available to assist job seekers with the information needed to obtain meaningful and rewarding careers in public service. Our staff at these centers are dedicated to providing comprehensive support and to assist job seekers in New York State.

Our aim is to develop a proactive community outreach and strategic recruitment effort to attract and cultivate diverse candidates from communities throughout New York by:

• Supporting recruitment efforts on critical hard-to-recruit positions and vacancies that agencies are currently seeking to fill.
• Promoting and enhancing the hiring of individuals and veterans with disabilities.
• Establishing relationships with educational institutions, such as technical high schools and institutions of higher learning.
• Demystifying the civil service merit system, which removes critical barriers to employment.
• Providing enhanced resources to current State employees within each region to further their understanding of career mobility and transfer opportunities.
