New job center to open in stamford
Laid off professionals in the financial services sector will soon have a new resource to tap into career help. The Workplace, a free resource for Connecticut job seekers sent the following announcement today.
Our Tri-State National Emergency Grant (NEG ) proposal has been approved. Connecticut, New York and New Jersey collaborated and focused this proposal on job loses in the financial activity sector of the workforce.
Most financial sector job loses have been in our region. We began working with our partners on this proposal back in October and it was formally submitted in early November. We have had greater job loses in this sector since then.This NEG is open ended so we can add job loses that occured after the filing and future ones without a new application process.
We will open a new job center in Stamford which will include an out placement facility to serve our professional customers. We will also link the new center to our Community esource Program which offers family support services that can help sustain families during long periods without work.
Our customer first approach continues. The WorkPlace should receive at least $ 2.2 million to serve the nearly 400 workers that were included in this proposal. My commendations to our new Congressman Jim Himes for helping to free up this proposal which was stalled in transition.

Workplace Transition and Adaption Townhall Meeting
LOCATION: Sacred Heart University, William Pitt Center Board Rm
TIME: Feb. 7th – 1:00 pm - Panel Discussion
FAIRFIELD- On Saturday, February 7, State Rep. Tony Hwang, R-134, will hold his first ‘Town Meeting’ event for constituents in Fairfield and Trumbull at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. The event, which will take place at the university’s Pitt Center Board Room, will feature several expert panelists discussing workplace transition and job skills.
The first hour of the town meeting will allow the panelists to discuss workplace transition and job skills and take questions from residents. The remainder will allow local elected officials and Rep. Hwang to conduct an open forum regarding local and state issues. Rep. Hwang, who was previously employed in the executive search industry, said the economy dictated the theme of the first town meeting he will host.
“The economy we’ve seen in the past year is much different from past downturns,” said Rep. Hwang. “The major change is that we’re seeing many successful people who’ve held mid-level and high-level jobs realize that other comparable positions in their industry simply aren’t there anymore. It’s my hope that bringing in professionals well-versed in workplace transition and job skills can help some of our neighbors who very much need to rejoin the workforce.”
Panelists will include:
Joseph Carbone, President and Chief Executive Officer of The WorkPlace, Inc. The organization helps people prepare for careers and strengthens the workforce for employers. As Southwestern Connecticut’s Regional Workforce Development Board, it administers workforce development funds and coordinates providers of job training and education programs to meet the needs of residents and employers in the Southwestern Connecticut Region.
