Thank you so much, Sherry.
0:34:51
So a number of questions.
0:34:52
First of all, has administration kept records of the number of workforce development organizations by sector.
Ahmed Tigani
0:35:01
I'm sorry.
0:35:01
I think those are I don't have those numbers, but we can refer to the office of talent and workforce and get back to the committee with those numbers.
Julie Menin
0:35:08
Yeah.
0:35:08
I'd love to see that.
0:35:09
I just wanna see the breakdown by sector on that information.
0:35:12
So could you clarify, does administration support the Good Jobs Guarantee Act and what it signaled to lawmakers and Albany that have the importance of unlocking 1,000,000 of dollars in funds to create jobs in the city?
Ahmed Tigani
0:35:26
So we unfortunately, HPD, we are hero pining on intro 9:10, but we certainly will make sure to tell our colleagues at the office of town and workforce to follow-up regarding the resolution.
Julie Menin
0:35:40
Okay.
0:35:40
So you'll get back to the committee then on that.
0:35:42
Yeah.
0:35:42
I I just wanna get clarification on the administration's view on that bill and on any steps they're taking to help to support the passage of that bill.
0:35:51
In Albany.
0:35:52
And what are the administration's goals for workforce training investment for jobs specifically in the technology sector?
Ahmed Tigani
0:36:00
Unfortunately, I don't have an answer to that.
0:36:02
But I, again, all three questions we can make sure we get back to you, Council.
Julie Menin
0:36:06
Okay.
0:36:07
Okay.
