Brooklyn Woods

Brooklyn Woods is a free, full-time, seven week training program preparing individuals for entry-level positions in woodworking and cabinetmaking.



Mission
Brooklyn Woods is a part of Brooklyn Workforce Innovations (BWI). BWI's
mission is to empower low- and moderate-income people by creating living-wage employment opportunities and access to career paths. We seek to develop programs that counter prevailing market inequalities (especially those based on race or gender) and contribute to a broader movement for economic justice.

Currently BWI helps poor New Yorkers start careers in commercial driving, telecommunications cable installation, TV and film production, and skilled woodworking. BWI also trains public housing residents for jobs as Housing Caretakers and Pest Control Technicians at New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) properties, and we also operate a job readiness and driver’s license access program for women.
