III. a. 2. F. Partner Engagement with Other Education and Training Providers
Describe how the State’s Strategies will engage the State’s other education and training providers, including providers on the state’s eligible training provider list, as partners in the workforce development system to create a job-driven education and training system.
Current Narrative:
The state board and other partners in the workforce development system (i.e., LWDBs, core program partners and training providers) will engage to facilitate a job-driven education and training system.
LWDBs will build partnerships with education and training partners that will increase access to activities leading to postsecondary credentials focusing on career pathways specific to locally-relevant, in- demand occupations within Nevada’s key industry sectors. Training partnerships will be identified by advisory panels that provide real-time intelligence regarding the local labor market, education system and economic development activities. Training partnerships will be expanded with universal access to STEM based programs that anchor participant exposure to skill sets, industry-recognized certificates, licenses and certifications for occupations across Nevada’s key industry sectors. This ‘real-time’ intelligence will assist in keeping all ETPL partnerships and offerings local industry-relevant and in-support of local in-demand occupations.
Apprenticeship readiness program partnerships will be expanded to target populations with barriers to employment. These pre-apprenticeship programs will support career pathways that prepare participants for eventual placement into local registered apprenticeship programs.
