Latest Episode of NYSDOT Podcast Discusses Pathways to State Employment, Courtesy of NY HELPS

Episode Features New York State Transportation and Civil Service Commissioners, who Share how NY HELPS is "Paving the Way" for Greater Recruitment Statewide

In the latest episode of The DOT POD, host Josh Heller and special guest host Bryan Viggiani conduct an in-depth discussion on the transformative impact of the NY Hiring for Emergency Limited Placement Statewide (NY HELPS) program and how this groundbreaking initiative is paving the way for a wider pool of qualified job candidates to land jobs in public service, including at the Department of Transportation.

The State Department of Civil Service launched the HELPS program in April 2023 and expanded it earlier this year to assist state and local agencies in better filling vacancies open to the public. The program temporarily waives the civil service exam requirements for thousands of vacant public sector job openings across the state, expanding opportunities for New Yorkers interested in a career in public service.

Whether you are seeking information about a pathway to state employment or want to know more about recruitment, the latest podcast, featuring New York State Department of Transportation Commissioner Marie Therese Dominguez and Department of Civil Service Commissioner Timothy Hogues, details how NY HELPS is filling vacancies at agencies across New York while helping to build a stronger, more diverse workforce.
