Workforce Development Institute (WDI) is headquartered in Albany, New York, and has 10 regional offices throughout New York State (Capital Region, Central New York, Hudson Valley, Long Island, Lower Hudson Valley, Mohawk Valley, New York City, North Country, Rochester/Genesee Valley, and Western New York).
WDI is a statewide non-profit that works to grow and keep good jobs in New York State. WDI uses a range of tools - including ground level information, workforce expertise, and funding - to facilitate projects that build skills and strengthen employer's ability to hire and promote workers. WDI's work often fills gaps not covered by other organizations.
WDI began in 2003 as a partner to the New York State AFL-CIO and Area Labor Federations to provide workforce training and education services to regional and local unions. Its role has since evolved and is now focused more broadly on the growth and retention of good jobs in NYS through a variety of mechanisms including partnerships and collaborations with businesses, unions, other non-profits, educational institutions, and government.
WDI works regionally to identify targeted strategies that address workforce development opportunities and challenges. These strategies can include partnerships, training and/or funding.
Many issues impact individuals’ capacity, productivity and earnings in the workplace market. WDI provides programs and services to help individuals thrive in the workplace.
WDI works to build stronger communities by integrating arts, culture, and thought leadership into workforce development efforts.
