NY HELPs Program - No Exam Required for select titles

The NYS Department of Civil Service has developed the NY HELPs Program to assist agencies with filling critical positions. This statewide program temporarily removes NYS Civil Service Exam requirements for many titles. This means that candidates will not be required to take the NYS Civil Service Exam for these titles and can be eligible for consideration by meeting the minimum qualifications as stated in the job posting for each title.
Please visit our NY HELPs page to learn more about titles included in this program at Upstate and view current job openings. (include hyper link to marketing page)
Please note:
Titles not covered by NY HELPs, may still require a NYS Civil Service Exam. These can be searched on NYS Civil Service website. If you are interested in signing up for exam, make sure you read the exam announcement in full and follow all instructions. See below resources for links to more information.
