About

Skills that help people move forward

Golden Tech Workforce & Education, Inc. (GTWE) is a New York nonprofit working to expand access to technology education, workforce development, and financial literacy for underserved New York City residents.

Who we serve

We welcome inquiries from unemployed and underemployed adults, immigrants, career changers, young adults entering the workforce, and community organizations seeking training pathways for the residents they serve. Course eligibility and prerequisites will be confirmed before enrollment.

Learning through practice

Our developing training model combines instruction, guided exercises, simulated scenarios, and practical projects. Certification preparation and career guidance will vary by course. Employment, earnings, and certification outcomes are not guaranteed.

Initial pilot results

Eight people participated in a pre-assessment; three continued into training, and those three were subsequently hired. These results reflect a small initial group and do not predict future outcomes. As programs expand, GTWE plans to track participation, skills development, completion, certifications, and employment progress.
