An inclusive economy means protecting core industries essential to maintaining our leading role in the global economy, focusing on growing sectors that create good-paying jobs, and supporting
emerging industries such as cybersecurity and digital health care for which New York City is well positioned to become a global hub.
Equally important is the need to align investments in these sectors with programs to create career pathways for underemployed New Yorkers and jobseekers with low educational attainment by
ensuring access to training and other opportunities for career advancement. As part of this commitment, in 2018, the City launched ApprenticeNYC, a first-of-its-kind program to create 450
paid apprenticeships in the industrial, health, and tech industries by 2021.
We’re committed to attracting employers that are building a more competitive and inclusive economy. The City will continue to provide resources to these businesses through the Best for NYC program. To support growth in high-opportunity sectors, the City will invest in programming and technical assistance, workforce development, and adequate commercial and industrial space.
