The Consortium for Worker Education (CWE) is a non-profit organization based in New York City that has been working since 1985 to provide workforce development services. As the workforce development arm of the New York City Central Labor Council, AFL-CIO, CWE oversees a network of over 40 job training and placement providers across the five boroughs, serving both union and community members. With a focus on training services for incumbent members across 36 union locals, CWE offers a wide range of classes and placement initiatives, enrolling nearly 40,000 individuals last year.
CWE regularly commissions reports in partnership with academics, unions, and non-profit organizations to assess the effectiveness of their programming and to provide insights into the state of the NYC workforce. Their initiatives cover various areas, including English classes for new arrivals, child care support for working parents, and support for new neighbors. With a commitment to uplifting Black people and reinvesting in New York workers, CWE strives to connect individuals with services and opportunities that help them thrive in the city's workforce.
