THE BDC BUSINESS HUB

The BDC Business Hub teaches skills through on-the-job training and provides entry employment opportunities for a variety of skill levels.

Through various job programs, it serves to prepare Binghampton residents for a living wage career.

"The BDC Business Hub helped me make a plan that is similar to the goals I want to accomplish. The program was challenging and I feel so much more confident in myself to do things that I would’ve shied away from before doing the program.”
