If you are registered as an unemployed NYSSA member and were employed by one of the 31 companies below, you may qualify to have your tuition for a NYSSA professional development and/or CFA preparatory course paid by the National Emergency Grant (NEG) through the New York State Department of Labor.
Only individuals who were dislocated from one of the 31 employers after May 31, 2008 may be eligible for assistance under this federal grant. Anyone interested in learning more should email neg.survey@labor.state.ny.us or stop by one of the NEG One-Stop Career Centers to speak with a counselor.
You must obtain approval from the counselor and be issued a voucher for the course you wish to attend before registering for the course. The voucher and the registration form must be turned in at the same time to NYSSA’s Education Department.
Contact NYSSA’s Education Department for registration details at education@nyssa.org or 646-871-3407.
