Workforce Training Programs & Resources
NEVADA’S
Programming
Workforce development is a constantly changing ecosystem. Government leaders in this policy space must be agile and flexible to respond to the shifting economy and what employers need. Whether you are an employer seeking to drive up your workforce or an employee that needs some development.
Public Education Foundation’s (PEF) Teacher Pathway Program
The PEF Teacher Pathway program is part of a larger public-private effort to address our teacher shortage crisis by creating “grow your own” pathways to developing teaching candidates. Grant funding will start with supporting current paraprofessionals which include but are not limited to classroom instructional aides or long-term substitutes. PEF has recruited 92 paraprofessionals and substitute teachers for the Teacher Pathway program this school year alone, which currently work – and largely live – in the underserved areas most in need of classroom teachers. The PEF also boasts 76 percent of mentees coming from diverse backgrounds and 91 percent being women.

OWINN will partner with the Las Vegas Aces Foundation to increase support for Nevada students through sports internships, access to mental health, and financial literacy. These three areas of focus support the State’s emerging professional sports industry, address the increased mental health concerns of Nevada’s youth due to the pandemic and lastly provide lessons in life skills such as financial literacy which are often educational gaps missing in our schools.
