Welcome New CDO Workforce Youth Employment & Training Counselor, Shivaun Gano!
A little about Shivaun:
Shivaun resides in the Town of Jefferson with her husband Seth and has been a local community member for the past 47 years.
"I have 16-plus years of professional experience with College, Career and Educational Advisement pertaining to youth. I was a Vocational Specialist at The Youth Leadership Academy and Allen Residential Center for five-plus years and most currently a Program Coordinator for The Liberty Partnerships Program with the SUNY Research Foundation at SUNY Cobleskill College.
"I have focused on providing experiences through college and career related trips, building relationships, and providing job shadowing opportunities in order to inspire a hope for a bright future.
"I have a passion for connecting young adults with the resources, experiences and trainings that are available in order to help develop skills, build confidence, attain independence and ultimately gain meaningful employment that they feel good about.
“'We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future.'
Franklin D. Roosevelt.'"
Shivaun will serve Youth in Delaware County. For information about CDO Workforce Youth Programs in Delaware County, please contact her at 607-832-5494 or email shivaun.gano@co.delaware.ny.us

Businesses: New York College Apprenticeship Network (NYCAN) Grant Can Help You Upskill Your Workforce
The Workforce Development Board of Herkimer, Madison & Oneida (WDB/HMO) has partnered with the NYCAN (NY College Apprenticeship Network) grant to reimburse on-the-job training costs for advanced manufacturing companies that have less than 50 employees and a registered apprentice program.
Wages can be reimbursed at 50% up to $25 an hour for six months of on-the-job training (OJT) with minimum paperwork.
The undirected funding provides many benefits for small to medium-sized manufacturing companies and ensures the apprentice is trained in accordance with the company’s standards and procedures.
If you would like to know how your company can take advantage of this funding or know of a company that would benefit, please contact Meghan McBennett at mmcbennett@working-solutions.org.
