New federal assistance is available for farmers in New York after the damage caused by the remnants of Hurricane Beryl in July. According to U.S. Rep. Nick Langworthy's office, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has approved federal disaster assistance for multiple counties, including Erie, Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, Allegany, Chemung, Schuyler and Steuben. This designation allows farmers to get emergency loans and other recovery resources for damage they suffered between July 10 and 16. “I’m pleased to announce that our farmers and communities will receive the federal support they need to rebuild after the devastating tornadoes and storm damage from Hurricane Beryl in July,” said Langworthy. “This designation is essential for helping our farmers recover from losses and continue their vital work. I continue to advocate for federal relief for those in Steuben County and surrounding areas who were recently hit with devastating flooding from Tropical Storm Debby.” You can learn more and apply on their website, farmers.gov .

Central NY wins federal grant to train 800 apprentices for semiconductor, tech industries In a historic federal investment, MACNY, The Manufacturers Association, has been awarded a $6 million grant by the U.S. Department of Labor to expand Registered Apprenticeships for advanced manufacturing, including the semiconductor industry, to train and upskill workers for highly in-demand, good-paying jobs. The announcement came from U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, following his advocacy for the program and in tandem with his extensive record of championing workforce development efforts for Central NY and the Mohawk Valley. The program, New York Registered Apprenticeship Manufacturing Partnerships (NY-RAMP), is expected to help 800+ New Yorkers in historically underrepresented populations receive the training they need to begin careers at manufacturers across New York State. Building on MACNY’s highly successful Manufacturers Intermediary Apprenticeship Program (MIAP), NY-RAMP will promote equitable access to Registered Apprenticeship Programs for all individuals, regardless of their work experience or academic qualifications. NY-RAMP will address Registered Apprenticeship program creation challenges specific to the region, such as identifying appropriate participants, working with businesses to create curricula, and supporting program retention. To ensure successful scaling, the program intends to develop and launch expansion programming in three phases starting with Central New York, the Mohawk Valley, Rochester, and the Capital District in Phase 1; adding Western New York, the Southern Tier, and New York City in Phase 2; and expanding to the Hudson Valley and Long Island in Phase 3. MACNY has recruited an expansive list of more than 75 key regional and statewide partners, including: employer partners like Micron Technology, GlobalFoundries, Wolfspeed, Indium Corporation, Semikron Danfoss, and MOOG; apprenticeship partners like Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, Buffalo Niagara Manufacturing Alliance, Center for Economic Growth, Council of Industry, Ignite Long Island, Manufacturers Association of the Southern Tier; and Rochester Technology and Manufacturing Association; education partners like Mohawk Valley Community College, Onondaga Community College, SUNY Schenectady, and Monroe Community College; workforce partners like CenterState CEO, CNY Works, Oswego County Workforce Career Center, Working Solutions, and the Capital Region Workforce Development Board; partners focused on serving underrepresented populations like the Arc of Onondaga, Action for a Better Community, and LAUNCH CNY; and dozens more.
