Surviving Tough Economic Times Program

Support programs and services available to help you survive these troubled times.
June 10, 2009 8:00-10:30a.m.
Presented by:
Tompkins JSEC

Are you interested in energy and cost savings for small and medium sized businesses? How can businesses take advantage of a variety of educational, technical, and financial assistance energy programs?

Are training funds one of the items recently cut from your budget, leaving you unable to upgrade the skills of your current workers or bring in new employees that lack fundamental skills your business requires?

Is your business contemplating layoffs as a method to deal with the harsh economic environment we find ourselves in these days?

Are your employees struggling to get by, not knowing what supports are available to them or whether or not they might even qualify for assistance?

Your Tompkins JSEC has assembled a program to address these issues!
Learn about cost saving energy initiatives from a representative of New York State Energy Research Development Authority

Become informed about the training funds that are currently available and about the On-The-Job (OJT) funds that you can use to subsidize your training needs.

Join us to learn about the NYSDOL’s Shared Work Program, also known as the “Layoff Alternative”.

Find out about the new website, myBenefits.ny.gov, which your employees can access to determine if they are likely to qualify for any of the many assistance programs currently available to New York State residents.

The course will be of interest to small business owners, human resource professionals, business leaders, consultants, managers, and supervisors.

Join us for this very informative and relevant program!!!
