About Us

Civic Hall’s mission is to foster innovation, education, and collaboration in New York City’s tech economy with a commitment to expanding opportunities for all. Located in the heart of the NYC tech community at Union Square, Civic Hall is a new, 85,000-square-foot learning and training center at the new state-of-the-art Zero Irving building.
In addition to serving as the nucleus for entrepreneurial and educational innovation, Civic Hall will facilitate groundbreaking partnerships among high-impact tenants and tech training partners to work collectively to meet the needs of all New Yorkers, especially those from communities too often left behind.

Our Talent Development Vision

The vision for Civic Hall is to make it the connective hub for the tech workforce development community in New York, and ultimately, help the sector grow, diversify, and deepen. The workforce development sector exhibits chronic fragmentation, in part due to limited financial resources and almost unavoidable operational inefficiencies. Civic Hall aims to be the solution to these deep-rooted challenges.
Through our physical and operational infrastructure, we can facilitate an interlocking, integrated, workforce system that works harmoniously to support learning across a spectrum of proficiency.
