Bill Could Provide Boost To City Parents Trying To Re-Enter The Work Force

New York City Council member Ben Kallos introduced a bill that would help Cohen and other parents get free training to re-enter the work force.

It’s called the ‘Back To Work Bill’ and it’s co-sponsored by Kallos, Laurie Cumbo, and Robert Cornegy.

The legislation would expand the city’s existing Workforce1 job training centers to include resources specifically designed for parents.

“What we’re asking Workforce1 to do is get them skills training they need for free and help them find a position at a company that will welcome someone who is a parent,” Kallos said.
