Nevada Works outlines free workforce services and multiyear grants, offers county partnerships
Summary
A Nevada Works representative briefed commissioners on career hubs, employer services, and several grants (including a $14.9M talent-pipeline grant and an incumbent-worker grant) and offered to partner with local groups to deliver training and outreach in Lander County.
A Nevada Works representative gave an overview of the workforce board's services to Northern Nevada and offered local partnerships and outreach to serve jobseekers and employers in Lander County.
The presenter said Nevada Works supports career hubs, in-person and virtual resource centers, employer recruiting and pre-screening services, and targeted grant programs. Cited programs included Good Jobs North Nevada (a $14,900,000 talent-pipeline grant for rural and tribal placements), an incumbent-worker grant for employer-provided upskilling, and a battery-workforce partnership with the University of Nevada, Reno and a Tech Hub focused on EV and battery supply-chain training. The presenter said the Good Jobs pool had received 509 applicants and that 32 awards had been made under that grant.
Commissioner Alicia asked whether Nevada Works could partner with local organizations (the Frontier Coalition was suggested); the presenter said outreach and localized service delivery are part of Nevada Works's approach and that staff will follow up for local coordination. No action was required; the item was informational.
