Bronx Metro-North Monthly Update, June 2023

 

Monthly Bronx Metro-North Study Update June 2023 Connecting Bronxites to Jobs As part of the NYC Planning's work to better connect Bronxites to jobs, the Bronx Metro-North Station Area Study team has been interviewing institutional and educational partners such as medical campuses, educational institutions, and workforce development specialists, to learn more about workforce development trends in the Morris Park jobs center, the borough, and the City and region. Thank you to everyone who volunteered their time to share their perspectives on borough-wide workforce development and employment needs.

Highlight of the Week: Metro-North Mondays Check out our new series of bimonthly "Metro-North Mondays" posts to get updates on the study, learn fun facts about the station areas, and take part in polls.
