CMP Media has been named as one of 46 finalists for special awards to be presented during the Long Island Works Coalition's Third Annual Workforce Builders Awards Luncheon, November 14, at the Melville Marriott.

The Workforce Builders Awards recognizes businesses, educational institutions and other nonprofit organizations, and government entities engaged in efforts to promote a strong Long Island economy and workforce through various school-to-work initiatives. The finalists were chosen from among more than 375 members of the Workforce Builders Honor Roll.

"We are delighted to count CMP Media among the local organizations that are taking action to ensure the Long Island continues to have a skilled workforce to depend on by focusing on workforce readiness, business etiquette and ethics, broadening skills for today's economy, funding established programs and/or school-to-work activities," said Cheryl Davidson, executive director of the Long Island Works Coalition.

CMP has long been involved in preparing the future workforce through its onsite day care program, mentoring initiatives, community involvement and college internships.

As a finalist, CMP is now in the running for one of six Workforce Builder Awards that the Long Island Works Coalition will bestow for outstanding commitment in the following categories: advisory boards; in-school activities; worksite initiatives; workforce readiness; workforce readiness in higher education; workforce readiness by government.

The Long Island Works Coalition has been helping to prepare students for the workforce for more than six years.
