NYCPHP Meetup

[Josh McCormack]

There's a program in NY that's sponsored by the City and State - I think 
the org is called the Workers Consortium, or something like that. They 
offer money for classes to make you employable. The classes have to be 
on an approved list of some sort though, so someone at NYPHP would have 
to check into getting that done.
