The Challenge

The densest labor market in America, one appointment at a time.

NYC's Workforce1 Career Centers serve job seekers across all five boroughs. Career advisors are skilled — but caseloads make sustained one-to-one guidance nearly impossible. Residents wait for appointments, then navigate WIOA programs, CUNY certificates, union apprenticeships, and sector training on their own.

Careerpath365 gives immigrants, displaced workers, justice-involved New Yorkers, and career changers practical guidance around the clock.

"Every New Yorker deserves practical career guidance when they need it."
The Platform

Five capabilities, one intelligent layer.

Careerpath365 layers onto the City's existing case management and WIOA reporting workflows — no new infrastructure, no data migration, no vendor change.

01

AI Career Pathway Advisor

Maps each New Yorker's skills, work history, and goals to in-demand city occupations — healthcare, tech, construction, transit, hospitality — with the shortest training route.

02

Training & Funding Discovery

Automated eligibility screening across WIOA Title I, SBS Workforce1 services, CUNY and HRA training programs, and employer tuition assistance. One-click apply and deadline reminders.

03

Conversational AI Counselor

Multilingual — Spanish, Chinese, Bengali, Russian, Haitian Creole — embedded in the resident portal, with clean escalation to Workforce1 career advisors.

04

Employer Connection Portal

NYC employers post roles, name the credentials they value, and see the pipeline of residents training toward them. Outcomes tracked to 90-day retention.

05

Case Manager Intelligence

AI-prioritized caseloads across all five boroughs, at-risk flags, automated WIOA compliance reporting, and equity insight by Community District.

Built For Residents First

The advisor she couldn't afford, always in her pocket.

A warehouse worker in the Bronx retraining for logistics tech. A parent in Brownsville weighing two certificate programs on a Sunday night. A newly arrived resident in Queens translating a foreign credential into a New York City job. Careerpath365 meets each of them the moment they show up — with a plan, a next step, and a Workforce1 advisor one escalation away.

  • Multilingual conversation across the city's top spoken languages
  • Contextual — knows the resident's plan and history
  • Clean handoff to Workforce1 career advisors when needed
  • Every interaction logged for continuity of care

Why It Works

More residents served, with the team you already have.

Careerpath365 gives every resident in New York City an AI career counselor available 24/7 — while your case managers gain a caseload tool that triages, documents, and follows up for them. Here is what that means in practice.

What residents get — in every neighborhood

  • A personalized career plan built in minutes, not weeks — based on their goals, experience, schedule, and barriers.
  • Funded training programs they qualify for, with the paperwork path explained step by step.
  • A professional resume and interview practice built from their real background.
  • Job search and application tracking in one place, so momentum is never lost between visits.
  • Veteran, reentry, and second-chance resources mapped to local providers.

Residents who never walk into an office — shift workers, caregivers, people with transportation barriers — finally get career help on their own terms.

How it fits the workflow you already run

  • Residents complete intake and skills assessment online before their first appointment, so staff start every meeting with a full picture.
  • Case managers see a live caseload dashboard: who is stuck, who needs a nudge, who is ready for a referral — prioritized automatically.
  • Training-program and employer referrals happen inside the portal, with each step logged against the resident's record.
  • Outcome reporting (placements, credentials, retention) rolls up automatically for WIOA and board reporting.
  • Data stays with the City — export, audit, and retention follow your policies.

No rip-and-replace: it layers on top of your current case-management tools and intake forms.

3–4×

more residents served per case manager

The AI handles first contact, career planning, resume building, and routine questions around the clock. Your staff spend their hours on the residents who genuinely need a human: complex barriers, funding decisions, and employer relationships. Same headcount, several times the throughput.

Higher

resident satisfaction scores

Residents get instant answers at midnight, progress they can see, and shorter waits for staff time. That shows up directly in your client-satisfaction and follow-up survey numbers — the metrics your board and federal funders review.

Grant Funding

Fundable with dollars SBS already administers.

Careerpath365 is a career-services delivery system, not a new entitlement. That places it inside the allowable-cost categories of the federal streams below. We will build the budget narrative and cost allocation with your finance team.
