Senator Luis Sepulveda - October 2021: Workforce Diversification Project

Dear Neighbor, 

I hope you and your family are healthy and safe. As New Yorkers attempt to return to normalcy, many of our neighbors are still recovering from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Workforce Diversification Project was created to help combat the unemployment rate in the Bronx. This resource is a compilation of current job openings, trainings, classes, internships, grants for not-for-profits, webinars, and after school programs. My staff worked hard to create this project to help transition the Bronx from unemployed to employed. Each month, my office will be sharing an updated document with constituents to ensure they receive current job openings and training opportunities.

If you would like to see an additional opportunity posted in next month's edition, please email the details to jobs@senatorsepulveda.com.

Sincerely,

NYS Senator Luis Sepúlveda

81 Days and Counting

I had so much fun marching Sunday in the Bronx Columbus Day Parade. There were those who booed me, gave me the thumbs down, called me a commie, and said I was the worse mayor they ever had, but I kept smiling as I walked by them, and their unfinished park on Morris Park Avenue in the Bronx.

It is back to the old grindstone, an those pesky reporters who are going to ask me questions I don't want to answer. I have less than twelve weeks of this left, an with my three day weekends it is even less than that. Those dumb reporters are asking me who I am voting for to replace myself. Are they for real, just who do they think I am going to vote for. They won't be able to tell, like they did with my son Dante who was the only voter in his district. There will be hundreds if not thousands of people voting in my district, so even if I didn't vote for Eric Adams no one would know.
