Creating Jobs in New Haven

The New Haven Works program is a culmination of

efforts by the City of New Haven, Yale University, local

employers, labor unions and local residents to create a

pipeline of jobs for citizens of New Haven. In its first

year, New Haven Works placed 323 residents in local jobs,

including 125 at Yale University.

Governor Dannell Malloy spoke at the one year anniversary of New Haven Works on June

12th. For more information, visit onhsa.yale.edu/economic-growth-and-fiscal-impact.
