Mission Statement

The Center for Economic and Workforce Development (CEWD) at Kingsborough Community College, a City University of New York (CUNY) college in Brooklyn, provides New York's under- and unemployed residents with the training and skills necessary to advance their current careers or continue toward achieving a higher educational goal. We do this through a series of programs and initiatives in partnership with Kingsborough's Office of Continuing Education and the Office of Tourism and Hospitality, as well as other CUNY and non-CUNY partners. In addition, we connect with local businesses to develop trainings that meet the needs of New York's continually changing economy. We are committed to providing our students with the most relevant training and hands-on employment services that will positively serve their long-term career and educational goals.
