Peekskill highlights community hub and youth workforce programs; culinary training graduated 45 residents
Summary
City staff described workforce-development programs for 16–24-year-olds funded by Senator Pete Harcombe and the Peekskill IDA; the culinary track has graduated 45 residents with food-handling certificates and additional carpentry and marketing programs are launching.
Jonathan Zamora, site manager and director of the community hub for the City of Peekskill, described workforce programs aimed at 16–24-year-olds that the city funds with support from state and local partners. "Our culinary program, for example, has graduated 45 residents with basic working food service knowledge," Zamora said, noting graduates have safe food-handling certificates and are ready to work in local establishments.
Zamora also described an art, design and marketing program that helped participants create content for Destination Peekskill and a carpentry program scheduled to launch soon. City officials said these efforts are intended to make it easier for local businesses to hire trained workers and to circulate paychecks within the Peekskill economy. Funding was identified in the presentation as coming from Senator Pete Harcombe and the Peekskill IDA.
