The Deputy Commissioner states it is not feasible for DCAS to administer career counseling for over 300,000 city employees as the bill is currently written.
- Career counseling services are already happening across city agencies
- Within DCAS itself, the agency has a career counselor and popular HR counseling services
- While supportive of offering such services, jurisdictional issues make broad implementation difficult

In regards to intro 743, again, about career counseling services.
1:19:15
Do you foresee any barriers or challenges to offering such counseling services.
1:19:21
You already spoke about your jurisdiction and, you know, how it will be hard to implement that across.
1:19:26
Agencies, but wanted to hear your take on sort of any other barriers.

Yes.
1:19:31
So, you know, once again, we're supportive of that type of service for city employees.
1:19:35
But as the bill is written, it's not feasible for Decast to administer career counseling for 300,000 plus city employees.
1:19:44
However, you know, as as stated earlier, career counseling is happening across the city even at DCAS, the agency.
1:19:53
We have a career counselor, and the services that are provided by our HR department.
1:19:59
They're very popular.
