Utica, NY – The Women in Apprenticeship and Nontraditional Occupations (WANTO) grant program is hosting a women-focused virtual job fair on November 3, 2021, from 11:00AM – 1:00PM. The goal of the job fair is to help women gain employment in nontraditional occupations, which is defined by the U.S. Department of Labor as any industry in which females make up 25% or less of the workforce.

The WANTO program, administered by the Workforce Development Board, Herkimer, Madison and Oneida Counties, Inc., focuses on helping women gain employment in nontraditional occupations primarily in the informational technology, advanced manufacturing, trades, agriculture, and transportation sectors.

“Nontraditional careers for women have a great deal of opportunity for women to grow and achieve self-sustainability,” says Stephanie Heiland, WANTO Project Director. “By providing women with training and helping to connect them to employers, WANTO hopes to create a more inclusive and equitable workforce.”

WANTO serves the following seventeen counties: Broome, Chenango, Delaware, Fulton, Hamilton, Herkimer, Jefferson, Lewis, Madison, Montgomery, Oneida, Onondaga, Otsego, Schoharie, St. Lawrence, Tioga, and Tompkins. Job seekers and employers throughout the entire 17-county region are invited to register.

The job fair is free to job seekers and employers on a user-friendly platform.

Network. Explore. Invest.

October 6th and 7th, 2021 in Johnstown, NY

Please join the Mohawk Valley Brownfields Developer Summit to Network, Explore, and Invest in development opportunities in New York’s Mohawk Valley. This free, in-person Summit on October 6-7, 2021, is a historic collaboration of the six Mohawk Valley Counties to provide developers with a unique one-stop opportunity to:

• Network with local, state, and federal officials and redevelopment professionals.
• Explore development opportunities, available sites, the Valley’s needs, and how to build capital stacks from successful developers.
• Invest in the Mohawk Valley’s resurging economy.

The Summit will spotlight ways the counties are positioning properties for development, offer actionable information on grants, tax incentives and funding and facilitate connections to public and private sector resources. An estimated $2 billion investment in the Valley’s semiconductors and the innovation economy is creating a need for industrial, commercial, residential, and infill development. The expected surge in infrastructure and brownfield funding, coupled with the Valley’s economic renaissance is providing developers an unparalleled opportunity for investment.

Don’t miss this opportunity to Network, Explore and Invest in the Mohawk Valley.

Keynote speaker Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer’s will spotlight why investment in the Mohawk Valley has never looked brighter.
