The North Country is in line to receive $433,332 as its share of $20 million in federal funding to support the state's efforts to get unemployed New Yorkers back to work.
The funding, awarded through the U.S. Department of Labor's Reemployment Services and Eligibility Assessment initiative, will support 210 New York State Department of Labor career counselors who will work with Unemployment Insurance recipients.
The aggressive service model they will employ includes three mandatory one-on-one appointments, a work search plan, training assessment and referral to employment opportunities. The people who receive these services under this grant frequently have barriers to employment that put them at risk of exhausting their Unemployment Insurance benefits.
