To be eligible for jobs in the HELP program, candidates must meet the jobs’ minimum qualifications and any other conditions of employment. Candidates should visit the HELP Jobs Portal and use the candidate portal to apply for jobs in the HELP program.

All Exam Fees Waived! Please note that civil service exam application fees are now waived for all New York State civil service exams through December 2025.
