Broome-Tioga Workforce NY to open a satellite office

BINGHAMTON, N.Y. — Broome-Tioga Workforce NY will open a satellite office at the Broome County Library at 185 Court St., with hours every Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. beginning Aug. 9. Broome-Tioga Workforce NY operates two One Stop American Job Centers to assist local businesses with recruiting and training and to provide people with career advice, resume help, and training assistance. The offices are located at 501 Reynolds Road in Binghamton and in the Tioga County Human Services building, 1062 Route 38 in Owego. “This partnership is vital to fulfilling County Executive Jason Garnar’s mission of eliminating the public’s barriers to life-changing services,” Broome-Tioga Workforce NY Executive Director Robert C. Murphy said in a press release announcing the news. “People who could benefit most from our services, many times, have limited access to transportation. Making our services consistently available to folks who lack transportation is vitally important, not only to the job seekers, but to employers in the community trying to find valuable employees as well.” “Our mission at the Broome County Public Library is to serve as a community hub for downtown Binghamton and all of Broome County,” Library Director Josias Bartram said. “Partnering with Broome-Tioga Workforce NY will be a big step towards fulfilling this mission by providing the resources and services that our community needs to thrive.” Broome-Tioga Workforce NY is a partnership between Tioga and Broome counties, the New York State Department of Labor, and the regional business community to help business recruit and retain workers, assess and respond to current and future workforce needs, and help individuals seeking career opportunities.
