We’re building an employer-driven regional workforce training system for Northern Nevada.
Nevadaworks is Northern Nevada’s workforce development hub. Through our Good Jobs Northern Nevada program, we’re creating a skilled, diverse, continually evolving workforce to support four key Nevada industries — Manufacturing, Healthcare Services, Technology and Transportation/Logistics. Our goal is to place at least 650 workers into good jobs across these sectors.
