About The Long Island Business, Labor, & Employment Council
The Long Island Business, Labor, & Employment Council is a United Way of Long Island initiative dedicated to engaging employers and training providers in order to develop systems, employment competencies and career building opportunities for Veterans and youth on Long Island. The council is comprised of local companies and organizations which have committed to providing internships, on-the-job training and job shadowing opportunities which lead to full time employment for Long Islanders. The goal is for these opportunities to help close the gap between the skill set of the workforce on Long Island and the skills necessary to succeed in the modern workplace.
