The Centers for Careers in Government are here! Staff located in offices throughout New York state are available to assist job seekers with the information needed to obtain meaningful and rewarding careers in public service.

- Promoting and enhancing the hiring of individuals and veterans with disabilities.
- Establishing relationships with educational institutions, such as technical high schools and institutions of higher learning.
