Microsoft Chips In $100k Toward Tech Training Center
Microsoft has provided a $100,000 grant to Civic Hall for the planning and development of the planned Tech Training Center in Union Square, which will provide both digital skills training and flexible space for tech companies to grow and hire within the building.
The 240,000-square-foot project began the public approval process earlier this year. Nonprofit Civic Hall will operate the workforce development center within the Tech Training Center, spanning three floors across the 21-story project.
“The Union Square Tech Training Center will develop a physical access point to our tech sector—connecting New Yorkers to digital skills and quality job opportunities within the same building,” said James Patchett, president and CEO, New York City Economic Development Corporation. “We’re thrilled that Microsoft is supporting our efforts to diversify this fast-growing industry, and to ensure that every New Yorker has a chance to participate in a 21st century economy.”
