Building Skills NY works to connect low-income New Yorkers to construction projects through targeted recruitment and training. With support from the Robin Hood Foundation and the Real Estate Board of New York, BSNY was ready to expand their efforts to connect low-income New Yorkers to local construction jobs. That’s where Public Works came in.
We then created new tools, organizational structure, and standard operating procedures to make sure BSNY had the right resources and staff to support its growth. Finally, we developed an IT infrastructure to track job seekers and available jobs at construction sites.
The services and organizational model was complemented by a new customer relationship database (CRM) that enables staff to better match qualified candidates with the right job openings. This tool ensured BSNY could effectively serve both jobseekers and construction companies with openings as the program continues to grow.
