The Labor Department welcomes 15 new college and high school interns to our work family. We hope their experiences over the next six weeks spark a lifelong passion for public service.

The Labor Department is proud to support New Jersey Reentry Corp. as it launches a NJ Build pre-apprenticeship training portal, which will serve as a gateway to jobs in the building and construction trades for traditionally hard-to-place job-seekers. Commissioner Asaro-Angelo joined former Gov. Jim McGreevey, Lt. Gov. Sheila Oliver, Assemby Speaker Craig Coughlin at the launch event.
