At LEVELUPinNYC.com we share NYC’s best networking, professional development, and career events each week. Subscribe to our weekly newsletter here.

New York, NY – On Wednesday, April 30, from 6:30–8:30 PM at Impact Hub NYC, a curated crowd of startup leaders, recruiters, and business decision-makers will gather for the Empower & Elevate Your Workforce: Talent Mixer—an exclusive event designed to streamline your hiring process and connect you directly with diverse, pre-vetted tech and marketing talent.

Co-hosted by OpenClassrooms, in collaboration with the NY Chamber of Commerce, TechNYC, Impact Hub NYC, and LevelUp in NYC, this mixer brings together industry leaders across IT, digital marketing, data analytics, Python development, and more—all committed to building inclusive teams and reshaping how NYC hires.

What sets this event apart? OpenClassrooms’ talent pipeline is powered by federal and state funding, offering no-cost training for apprentices and making it easier for employers to fill remote and hybrid roles starting at $20/hour. With built-in mentorship, training, and retention strategies, these candidates are more than job-ready—they’re impact-ready. In fact, 90% of apprentices stay with their first employer, a proven model that minimizes hiring friction and maximizes value.

Expect a dynamic evening featuring a diverse apprentice panel, curated networking, and direct access to hiring support—all served alongside drinks, bites, and an atmosphere built for meaningful connections. These are the kinds of rooms where your next hire, partnership, or business breakthrough can happen.

Quick networking tip for the night: Skip the “What do you do?” and ask, “What problem are you excited to solve right now?” You’ll instantly shift from small talk to substance—leading to more powerful, lasting connections.

LEVELUP in NYC is proud to spotlight this opportunity for employers and business owners looking to build their networks, add to their teams, hire diverse talent, and scale their impact in this city. If you're serious about growing your team—or your influence—this is where you need to be.

The talent is here. The opportunity is real. Are you ready to make your next best hire?
