Congratulations to the following
2009 CNY BEST Winners
Organization
Time Warner Cable
Enhanced Division Training Program
The newly created Central New York Division of Time Warner Cable is operated with 1,600 employees. With the challenges of geography, diverse product and service lines and a multi-generational workforce, the traditional ways of delivering training needed to adapt to become a sustainable competitive advantage for our organization. To capitalize on this opportunity, we enhanced our current training program to meet the needs of our changing workforce and began the transitions into a regional model.
Organization (Not-for-Profit)
Greater Syracuse Chamber of Commerce, CNY Works, OCM BOCES, Work Keys Center at Syracuse University, Literacy Volunteers of Greater Syracuse,
and Partners in Learning
Contextualized Workplace Literacy Program
Onondaga County currently has over 10,000 immigrant adults. The immigrant population is a viable resource for employment but they often lack the necessary skills to keep jobs, improve their wages, and move up to the next job title at the same business. The goal of this collaborative program is to improve English literacy gains and increase wages of the English as a Second Language employees at four employer sites.
