The Marketing and Employment Unit provides services that enable employers to find and keep qualified workers in the most cost and time effective manner. We will pre-screen all candidates before referring them to employers for an open position. VESID also provides follow- up services to ensure a lasting placement.

In addition to highly qualified, job ready candidates, we can provide technical assistance to enable employers to access a variety of tax incentives and wage reimbursements. Staff training is also available regarding disability etiquette, workplace accommodations, and the Americans with Disabilities Act. All training is specifically designed to meet the needs of your company.

All of these services are free of charge to employers.

Linkages to the Department of Labor, and Empire State Development are among the employment and job placement relationships we can offer to ensure employer satisfaction and efficiency in achieving the bottom line… a competent and reliable workforce.
