G
I
am
from
the
children's
cabinet
and
I
just
wanted
to
introduce
myself
because
we
have
a
new
program,
the
employer,
child
care
development
program
and
it
supports
nevada
businesses
with
attracting
attracting
and
retaining
their
workforce
by
supporting
family
friendly
policies
and
benefits.
So
I
just
wanted
to
introduce
myself
to
the
board.
A
B
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
nj's
fijo
from
the
office
of
workforce
innovation
for
the
record,
I'm
presenting
revised
meeting
days
for
the
full
board
and
executive
committee
when
they
get
appointed.
This
is
because
now
that
we
have
industry
sector
councils
up
and
running,
I
made
the
decision
that
it
will
be
helpful
for
most
or
all
of
the
sector
councils
to
meet
first
before
the
g
wdb
quarterly
meeting.
So
we
can
hear
what
the
main
takeaways
from
the
industry
sector
consoles
are.
B
So,
of
course,
the
chair
could
call
a
media
at
any
time
and
if
the,
if
the
meets
need
to
be
rescheduled,
you'll
be
notified.
But
these
are
the
scheduled
meetings
for
the
rest
of
the
year,
so
I
asked
for
swift
approval.
Thank
you.
F
Chair
this
is
dan
gerald
I'll,
make
a
motion
to
approve
dave
dryblast
for
the
record.
Second,
thank
you.
B

Thank

Several
weeks
ago,
governor
sislek
appointed
ken
ken
evans,
as
our
board's
newest
vice
chair
ken,
is
in
his
second
term
on
this
board
and
currently
serves
as
the
president
of
the
urban
chamber
of
commerce
here
in
las
vegas.
I
believe
ken
has
joined
us
remotely,
but
I'm
not
100
sure
so
ken.
If
you're
on
the
line,
please
share
a
few
words.
B
B
Governor
sislek
appointed
hugh
anderson
to
be
this
board's
newest
chair.
He
was
in
his
second
term
on
this
board
and
currently
serves
as
managing
director
at
high
tower
las
vegas.
I,
along
with
all
board
members,
welcome
hugh
as
their
new
chair
and
look
forward
to
working
with
him.
Mr
chairman,
please
feel
free
to
share
a
few
words.
A
We
want
to
make
sure
that
there
is
constant
and
dynamic
communication
about
the
needs
and
structural
impediments
that
prevent
our
employers
from
having
a
work
ready
workforce
at
their
disposal,
as
well
as
making
sure
that
the
good
work
of
our
state
and
municipal
staff
is
getting
out
to
that
workforce
and,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
the
people
of
the
state
who
have
suffered
so
mightily
through
covet
and
the
prior
massive
downturns
recognize
that
they
do
have
resources
to
prevent
that
from
having
occurring
to
them
in
the
future.
A
The
the
other
thing
I'd
like
to
address
is
the
fact
that
we
have
substantial
vacancies
on
this
on
this
board
and
my
goal
is
to
start
filling
those
vacancies
in
a
in
a
a
rolling
manner.
So
we
don't
have
a
a
major
pothole
years
in
the
future
with
a
lot
of
termed
out
folks.
But
the
reality
is
that
we
need
people
who
recognize
how
important
this
board
can
be
to
serve
the
needs
of
our
community.
And
so
I
appreciate
all
of
you
here
today
and
on
the
line
for
your
willingness
to
participate.
H
Good
morning,
mr
chair
good
afternoon,
I
should
say
mr
chair
members
of
the
workforce
development
board.
I
will
try
to
be
brief
for
the
record.
My
name
is
david
schmidt.
I
am
the
chief
economist
for
the
research
and
analysis
bureau
in
the
nevada
department
of
employment,
training
and
rehabilitation.
H
I'm
here
today
to
give
a
brief
economic
update,
which
I
think
is
loaded,
I
think,
on
the
computer
down
south
there.
It
should
also
be
available
there.
We
go,
I
see
it
so
if
we
can
take
a
or
move
forward
to
page
two,
I
want
to
give
you
really
just
the
quick
highlights
of
the
employment
situation,
the
unemployment
situation
and
some
demographic
reports
that
we
do
in
our
shop
to
deliver
to
the
the
workforce
development
board
on
this
chart.
H
You
can
see
the
last
three
recessions
and
the
change
since
peak
employment
prior
to
each
of
those
recessions,
and
I
just
want
to
highlight
a
few
things.
First,
just
how
deep
the
coveted
recession
was.
We're
we're
very
familiar
with
this,
but
roughly
twice
as
deep
as
the
the
great
recession,
a
second
we're
sitting
here,
25
months
in
to
since
peak
employment.
H
In
the
state
and
we've
seen
a
really
rapid
recovery,
much
more
rapid
than
we
saw
in
either
of
the
last
two
recessions
and
third,
that
we
are
approaching
the
point
where
employment
has
fully
recovered
all
of
the
jobs
that
were
lost
from
before
the
recession.
If
you
move
to
the
next
slide,
you
can
see
how
this
is
distributed
by
the
various
industries
in
the
state.
H
The
red
bars
show
you
the
jobs
that
we
lost
from
february
of
2020
to
may
of
2020,
and
then
the
blue
bars
show
what
we've
gained
from
may
of
2020
through
march
of
2022.
down
the
left.
You
can
see
some
red
and
green
numbers,
those
give
you
a
sense
of
which
industries
have
recovered
and
which
industries
have
yet
to
recover
those
jobs
that
were
lost
and
they
show
the
the
total
difference
between
what
was
lost
and
what's
been
gained
for
the
state
as
a
whole.
H
Total
non-farm
employment
at
the
very
top
of
the
chart,
is
within
10
000
jobs
of
recovering
all
of
the
jobs
that
were
lost.
The
private
sector
is
even
closer
at
about
2
600
jobs,
away
from
full
recovery
of
employment
where
we
stood
at
in
february
of
2020..
Not
all
industries
have
recovered.
The
casino
hotel
industry,
in
particular,
is
lagging
about
30
000
jobs,
but
on
the
flip
side
we
have
several
industries
like
transportation
and
warehousing
health
care
and
manufacturing,
which
I
call
out
because
they
all
are
also
associated
with
the
industry
sector
councils.
H
Turning
to
the
next
slide
and
touching
on
our
unemployment
data,
nevada's
unemployment
rate
is
currently
5.
This
chart
shows
the
entire
history
of
nevada's
unemployment
rate
back
to
1976
and
the
gray
bar
kind
of
shows
the
the
relatively
high
and
low
range
of
other
states.
H
It's
the
20th
to
80th
percentile
of
the
unemployment
rates
for
other
states,
and
you
can
see
nevada
is
typically
kind
of
in
the
middle
of
what
other
states
are
experiencing
in
the
great
recession
we
rose
significantly
higher
than
that
range,
and
in
the
covid
recession
we
rose
significantly
higher.
But
again,
one
of
the
really
key
things
that's
affecting
the
workforce.
H
Right
now,
I
think,
is
really
evident
here
in
that
just
how
far
we
shot
up
in
the
the
early
months
of
the
pandemic,
the
recession
because
of
the
pandemic
and
how
quickly
we've
come
back
down.
There
is
no
comparable
time
back
to
1976,
where
you
have
such
a
sharp
rise
or
such
a
sharp
fall,
and
that's
a
really
big
shock
to
the
employers
and
workers
in
the
state.
The
magnitude
of
change
that's
taken
place
in
a
really
short
amount
of
time.
H
I
think,
is
really
highlighted
by
this
chart
and
five
percent
unemployment
you
know,
is
it
high?
Is
it
low?
Well,
if
you
look
across
the
history
of
this
chart,
you
would
say
it's
it's
sort
of
consistent
with
where
we've
been
when
we're
in
the
the
growth
and
recovery
phase
of
the
business
cycle.
It's
not
the
lowest
we've
ever
seen.
That
would
be
in
the
mid
three
percent
range,
but
it's
not
what
we
would
think
of
as
being
at
a
recessionary
level.
It's
really
sort
of
a
full
employment
kind
of
picture.
H
The
next
next
slide
shows
the
ranking
of
nevada's
unemployment
rate
compared
to
other
states,
including
puerto
ri,
puerto
rico,
and
the
district
of
columbia.
Nevada
at
five
percent
does
have
one
of
the
higher
unemployment
rates
in
the
the
nation.
Part
of
this
is
that
we
still
have
that
significant
disruption
in
jobs
from
the
casino
hotel
industry
for
comparison.
H
The
reno
sparks
area
in
december
of
2021
set
a
new
all-time
low
unemployment
rate
at
just
2.4
percent.
Currently,
it's
it's
at
2.6
in
march.
Those
numbers
are
a
little
bit
more
volatile
because
they're
not
seasonally,
adjusted
to
move
with
each
month.
That's
just
the
the
raw
number
that
we
produce
in
clark
county.
By
contrast,
we
see
the
the
unemployment
rate
a
little
over
five
percent,
but
still
fairly
low
and
much
lower
than
it
was
when
clark
county
had
over
30
percent
employment
in
april
of
2020..
H
Taking
a
look
at
the
next
slide,
this
will
show
the
average
level
of
weekly
unemployment
claims
for
february
of
each
year,
going
back
to
about
1987
and
there's
a
red
dashed
line.
That
shows
the
current
rate
and
the
history
for
comparison
to
prior
years,
and
the
takeaway
here
is
that
the
level
of
unemployment
claims
we're
seeing
in
the
system.
H
People
who
are
currently
filing
for
benefits,
as
of
february,
is
actually
the
lowest
rate
that
we've
seen
since
1990
and
if
you
think,
by
contrast
in
1990,
the
state's
workforce
was
about
half
the
size
that
it
is
today.
So
the
the
level
of
unemployment
claims
is
low,
but
it's
also
been
falling
for
a
number
of
years.
Coming
out
of
the
great
recession,
you
can
see
a
pretty
smooth
slope
with
only
one
interruption
where
the
level
of
claims
year
after
year
in
the
month
of
february,
has
been
sliding
that's
a
consistent
trend.
H
I
chose
february
just
to
remove
the
kind
of
seasonal
impacts.
We
could
compare
the
same
month
over
time
and
not
see
the
intra-year
volatility
there.
So
the
level
of
unemployment
claims
is
very
low.
The
unemployment
rate
is
very
low.
Even
though
the
the
statewide
rate
is
still
at
at
five
percent
in
a
lot
of
areas
of
the
state,
we
have
really
really
tight
labor
markets.
H
This
also
shows
up
on
the
next
slide,
which
takes
a
look
at
nevada's
participation
rate.
This
is
the
share
of
the
population
that
is
either
working
or
actively
looking
for
work
and
again
we
have
the
gray
area,
shows
the
the
20th
and
80th
percentile
distribution
of
other
states.
H
You
can
see
in
nevada's
early
history
back
in
the
late
70s,
we
had
a
much
higher
participation
rate
than
the
nation,
as
nevada
was
growing
very,
very
fast
decade,
upon
decade
of
being
the
fastest
growing
state
in
the
nation,
as
we've
matured
a
little
bit
as
a
state.
We've
seen
that
participation
rate
move
more
into
the
range
that
other
states
are
seeing
and
then
coming
out
of
the
pandemic.
It's
actually
one
of
the
lower
rates
that
other
states
are
seeing,
but
there's
also
some
broad
trends
here
that
are
important
and
probably
affecting
the
workforce.
H
Today,
if
you
look,
you
can
see
that
the
broad
distribution
of
participation
rates
peaked
in
the
late
90s
early
2000s
and
we've
actually
seen
a
bit
of
a
shift.
This
is
because
we
have
the
baby
boom
generation
which
had
been
driving
participation
rates
up,
especially
because
there
were
more
women
participating
in
the
work
force
than
historically,
but
as
that
population
has
started
to
age
and
get
closer
to
retirement
age,
we
have
seen
that
participation
rate
start
to
fall
off,
broadly,
not
just
in
nevada
but
across
both
the
high
and
low
range
of
other
states.
H
Further
constraining
the
the
number
of
people
that
are
out
there,
participating
and
looking
for
work
and
and
posing
challenges
for
employers.
H
Now
the
final
three
slides
I
have
for
you
introduce
the
high
unemployment
demographics
report.
This
came
out
of
assembly
bill
354
in
the
2017
session,
and
I
give
here
the
statutory
reference.
We
do
a
report
that
looks
at
high
unemployment
by
one
of
three
definitions.
If
the
unemployment
rate
for
a
demographic
group
in
a
county
is
at
least
double
the
rate
for
the
county
as
a
whole
is
more
than
four
percentage
points
higher
than
the
county
as
a
whole
or
has
been
higher
than
the
county
as
a
whole
for
three
consecutive
years.
H
In
order
to
get
down
to
county
level
data,
we
actually
have
to
use
a
five-year
average
data
that
comes
from
the
census
bureau,
but
we
compare
those
three
rolling
five-year
averages
to
calculate
that
third
measure.
The
entire
report
that
we
produce
is
available
on
our
website,
and
I
put
the
link
here
for
you,
but
it's
at
nevadaworkforce.com
under
publications
and
demographic
report.
H
Now,
turning
to
the
next
slide,
you'll
have
some
text.
That's
really
almost
impossible
to
see
because
looking
at
over
20
demographic
groups
in
17
different
counties
provides
lots
and
lots
of
options,
but
in
orange
I've
highlighted
those
groups
that
have
high
unemployment
by
one
at
least
one
of
these
three
measures.
H
Some
of
the
unemployment
rates
are
very
high,
especially
in
small
counties.
They
can
be
particularly
volatile.
If
you
look
down
eureka
county,
you
can
see
zero,
zero,
zero,
zero,
zero
because
unemployment
is
slow,
so
low.
They
census
bureau
isn't
actually
producing
an
estimate
for
that.
But
to
help
put
this
in
context,
you
can
think
of
high
unemployment
in
one
of
a
couple
of
different
ways.
H
H
If
you
look
at
people
who
have
a
bachelor's
degree
or
higher,
that
is
a
smaller
share,
and
so
there's
different
sizes
incorporated
here,
and
so
this
slide
looks
at
those
areas
that
have
a
very
high
or
it
provides
the
unemployment
rates,
because
that's
what
all
these
measures
are
calculated
on,
but
the
the
next
slide
looks
at
the
total
number
of
affected
people
and
just
to
call
out
a
few
of
the
the
largest
individual
groups
that
are
pulled
up
in
this
report.
H
H
Also,
workers
who
are
young
in
clark
county
that
would
be
29
or
younger
in
most
counties,
24
or
younger
are
groups
that
have
high
unemployment
across
a
number
of
counties,
and
so
it's
it
frequently
comes
up
and
is
indicated
here
also
people
who
are
below
poverty
level
come
up
in
a
large
number
of
counties
and
in
clark
county
you're
talking
about
19,
000,
unemployed
people.
H
According
to
these
estimates,
over
the
2016
to
2020
period,
some
other
groups
of
note
people
who
have
a
high
school
degree
or
less-
I
have
about
26
000
individuals
in
it.
People
who
are
black
in
clark
county
have
about
14,
000
individuals
and
people
who
have
any
disability.
H
I
have
about
7
000,
unemployed
individuals
in
the
clark
county
area.
If
you
have
questions
about
these
numbers,
I
I
could
talk
about
it
forever,
but
I'm
trying
to
go
quickly,
but
we
do
produce
this.
I
would
be
happy
to
follow
up
with
any
details
on
how
these
measures
are
calculated
or
what
the
specific
numbers
are
and
then
the
final
slide
that
I
have
just
lists
a
few
links,
including
a
link
to
our
website
nevadaworkforce.com
and
the
contact
information.
H
F
Dave
dreible
this
for
the
record
good
information,
but
it
was
hard
to
see
up
on
the
screen.
Can
you
email
this
to
the
board?
So
we
have
that.
Thank
you.
A
David,
this
is
hugh
anderson
chair
one
question.
I
have
on
one
of
those
original
slides
where
you
where
it
shows
the
massive
coveted
spike
in
unemployment
and
how
rapidly
it
came
back
down
that
belies
the
media
stream
of
consciousness
that
all
the
quote
unquote:
excess
benefits
that
were
given
out
from
the
feds
and
the
states
kept
people
out
of
the
workforce
because
they
were
getting
paid
too
much
to
go
back
to
work.
And
yet
your
slide
indicates
they
went
back
to
work
as
quickly
as
they
could.
Can
you
explain
that
a
little
bit.
H
Yes,
mr
chair
david
schmidt,
again
for
the
record,
I
I
will
note
our
un
the
unemployment
estimates
here
are
not
exactly
the
same.
We
are
not
necessarily
counting
people
receiving
benefits.
However,
there
was
definitely
a
very
rapid
spike
and
a
very
rapid
retreat,
even
with
the
benefits
that
were
being
paid
by
far
the
largest
number
of
claims
that
we
saw
was
in
the
the
first
couple
months
of
the
pandemic
in
april
may
and
june
and
july
by
august,
the
the
spike
was
was
ebbing.
H
It
was
still
large-
and
that's
still,
I
think,
reflected
in
this
data
with
more
than
a
10
unemployment
rate,
which
is
comparable
to
what
we
had
at
the
peak
of
the
great
recession.
But
there
was
definitely
a
very
rapid
spike,
but
also
a
very
rapid
decline
where
we
saw,
I
think,
more
than
six
percentage
point
drop
even
from
april
to
may,
and
so
as
the
sort
of
policy
driven
shutdown
of
non-essential
businesses
started
to
pull
back
as
soon
as
that
started
to
pull
back.
D
Ryan
ryan
woodward
for
the
record
and
dave
just
a
kind
of
a
follow-up
to
that
question.
What
percentage
changed
in
the
people
who
were
actually
looking
for
work
to
show?
D
I
see
that
we
don't
see
the
numerator
and
the
denominator,
and
these
we
just
see
the
percentages
themselves,
did
the
workforce
itself
change
and
by
how
much
for
those
people
who
were
actually
now
considered
in
the
calculation
to
say.
Yes,
I
am
looking
for
work
or
now
I
am
employed
versus
those
who
completely
left
the
workforce.
H
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
question
david
schmidt
again
for
the
record.
I
think
the
best
way
to
illustrate
that
is
looking
at
the
nevada's
labor
force
participation
rate
where,
before
the
pandemic,
we
were
running
at
about
64
going
off
of
memory
here,
and
that
means
that
64
of
the
population
was
either
working
or
looking
for
work
with
the
the
disruption
because
of
the
pandemic,
that
that
number
moves
around
a
little
bit.
H
The
the
contrast
to
that
is
the
that
the
bureau
of
labor
statistics
also
calculates
a
measure
that
includes
people
who
are
discouraged,
workers
who
aren't
looking
for
work
in
the
last
four
weeks,
specifically
because
they
don't
think
that
there's
any
job
available
for
them,
and
that
number
is
pretty
small.
I
I
would
say
it's
probably
less
than
about
five
thousand.
I
think
it's
closer
to
three
3000,
but
I
don't
want
to
provide
inaccurate
information
there.
That
is
a
12
month.
H
Average-
and
that
was
through
the
end
of
2021,
and
so
the
I
haven't,
had
a
chance
to
look
at
the
newest
numbers
that
have
recently
come
out,
but
that
has
been
a
fairly
small
share
of
the
overall
workforce.
Those
people
who
just
don't
think
there
are
jobs.
I
think
some
of
the
the
other
dislocations,
maybe
from
people
who
aren't
the
question,
is:
will
participation
rise
back
to
where
it
was?
I
think
the
long-term
trend
is
for
participation
to
be
generally
declining,
and
so
we
have
the
the
typical
pattern
of
in
a
recovery.
H
H
And,
unfortunately,
we
don't
have
really
great
measures
to
capture
those
people
who
may
be
withdrawing
and
just
aren't
a
part
of
the
workforce
and
and
maybe
have
no
desire
to
be
that.
That's
one
of
the
things
we
have
to
try
to
look
around
the
edges
to
try
to
get
what
that
number
is.
D
Okay,
thank
you.
I'm
thinking
a
little
bit
more
again
ryan
woodward
for
the
record,
I'm
not
sure
how
to
catch
it.
Thank
you
for
that.
I
love
your.
I
think
one
of
the
most
valuable
slides
you
put
up
was
the
ones
showing
the
participation
rate
declining
in
the
long
term
and
that
on
the
high
side,
is
what
the
low
side
was
two
decades
ago.
D
So,
if
you
yeah,
if
you
can
get
more
data
on
that,
to
help
us
understand,
let
me
let
me
give
you
a
thought
around
where
why
I'm
asking
the
question
as
we
look
at
to
the
future
and
what
jobs
we
want
to
create
or
that
will
be
created
in
nevada.
How
do
we
prepare
that
workforce
for
those
right,
and
so,
if
we
have
a
declining
participation
rate,
we've
got
to
help
other
people
recognize
the
opportunity
in
the
state
and
recruit
appropriately
to
bring
in
for
those.
So
that's
where
my
head's
at
with
it.
Thank
you.
I
I
have
one
character
record:
derek
jensen
for
the
work
of
david,
I'm
trying
to
get
a
just,
a
very
good
understanding,
just
very
similar
to
participation
rate
and
the
and
the
high
unemployment
groups.
Are
we
seeing
a
correlation
between
these
high
unemployment
groups
and
who's
participating
in
the
workforce.
H
David
schmidt,
again
for
the
record:
yes,
that's
an
excellent
question
for
some
groups
it
varies
and
there
isn't
as
strong
a
correlation,
but
for
some
groups,
especially
people
like
people
with
a
disability
tend
to
have
both
relatively
low
rates
of
participation
like
50
or
less
and
high
rates
of
unemployment.
This
is
also
true
for
some
other
groups
like
women,
particularly
women
with
children,
tend
to
have
lower
participation
and
higher
rates
of
unemployment,
and
especially
those
women
who
have
both
preschool
and
school
age.
H
Children,
I
think,
have
been
called
out
in
prior
versions
of
the
report,
where
the
participation
rate
is
low
and
of
those
who
are
participating,
the
unemployment
rate
for
that
that
segment
is
also
higher.
So
we
we
could
definitely
do
a
cross
comparison
and
see
where
both
of
those
measures
are
higher
or
lower.
I
just
don't
have
it
in
this
particular
presentation.
A
David,
thank
you
for
your
time
today.
That's
all
the
time
we
have,
but
when
you're,
when
your
slides
are
distributed,
I'm
sure
you'll
get
some
feedback
and
some
more
questions.
Thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you.
Mr
chair
appreciate
the
work
all
right.
Moving
on
to
agenda
item
number,
eight
in
march,
2021
nevada
was
selected
to
participate
in
the
national
governors
association's
workforce,
innovation
network
or
win.
A
A
Richard
has
also
had
leadership
positions
with
the
national
governors
association,
the
wallace
foundation,
the
illinois,
business
roundtable
and
the
illinois
state
board
of
education,
all
of
which,
provided
him
with
a
wealth
of
experience
and
expertise
in
helping
states,
strengthen
their
education
to
workforce
efforts
for
our
main
agenda
item
today,
richard
will
facilitate
a
discussion
about
his
report's
findings.
Any
questions
you
may
have
about
the
report
and
ideas
on
how
this
board
can
help
implement
these
key
recommendations
and
now
like
to
turn
it
over
to
richard.
Thank
you
for
joining
us.
J
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
richard
lane
of
dfi
consulting
for
the
record
through
my
analysis
of
data
and
much
of
the
data
you
just
heard
dave
present
and
from
other
agencies.
J
J
So
the
majority
of
the
majority
of
my
recommendations
focus
on
near-term
priorities.
The
several
of
the
highlight
several
of
the
recommendations
also
focus
on
long-term
recommendations
to
improve
the
outcome
and
the
educational
opportunities
for
young
people.
Since
that's
your
future
workforce,
the
state's
credit
and
andreas-
can,
I
ask-
is
this:
are
the
slides
being
shown
because
I'm
not
yesterday?
J
Okay,
great?
So,
as
I
say
to
the
state's
credit,
the
report
did
not
end
up
on
a
bookshelf
as
too
many
of
these
kind
of
reports
do.
J
I've
had
the
opportunity
and
the
privilege
to
work
with
the
state,
the
state's
leadership
team
across
agency
and
the
governor's
office,
to
really
focus
on
the
priority
recommendations
in
this
report
and
really
start
to
put
some
extra
energy
and
pressure
on
some
of
the
changes
under
the
governor's
leadership
and
the
recommendations
that
focus
that
were
elevated
focus
in
four
areas
and
around
these
four
areas
around
is,
is
really
focusing
on
a
vision
and
structures
to
achieve
the
vision.
J
Second
is
around
strengthening
the
education
and
workforce
system
with
the
necessary
wrap
around
services
and,
again,
here's
this.
This
situation,
where
best
in
class
around
the
country,
is
when
we
talk
about
education
and
workforce
systems.
Too
often
we
only
talked
about
education,
workforce
efforts,
but
as
david's
report
just
shared
with,
you
is
many
of
the
issues
that
knock
people
out
of
the
workforce
or
prevent
people
from
entering
into
the
workforce
or
some
of
the
wraparound
services,
such
as
child
care
services
that
prevent
low-income
women
or
women
or
young
families
from
entering
the
workforce.
J
Third,
is
the,
and,
and
again
is
since
I
can't
see
the
slides-
and
I
don't
know
if
there's
a
technical
fix
to
be
able
to
see
it
as
if
there's
an
opportunity
to
just
show
up
the
first
bucket
slide
and
mr
chairman,
maybe
if
you
can,
let
me
know.
H
J
Okay-
yes,
yes,
so
so
here
again,
the
governor's
state
of
the
state
recent
state
of
the
state
articulated
a
strong
vision
for
strengthening
the
workforce
and
the
supports
for
nevadans
to
be
able
to
enter
and
succeed
in
it.
One
of
the
key
recommendations
in
this
report-
you'll
notice
in
here
is
recommendation
4,
which
is
strengthening
this
bodies,
the
governor's
workforce,
development
board's
role
and
support
for
strengthening
these
efforts.
J
So
the
recommendation
in
bucket
two
really
focus
on
understanding
where
the
opportunities
are
where
the
programs
are,
and
so
that
you
have
a
better
opportunity
to
improve
the
coordination
and
integration
of
services,
and
if
you
dig
into
the
report
just
that
david
shared
some
of
the
data,
what
you'll
start
to
understand
is
that
some
of
the
populations
that
have
either
low
participation
in
the
workforce
or
higher
unemployment
oftentimes,
they
have
multiple
challenges
to
overcome,
to
be
able
to
enter
into
and
succeed
in
the
workforce.
J
So
again,
if
it's
a
it's
a
young
family,
they
may
have
child
care
issues.
They
may
have
issues
of
getting
credentials
that
are
aligned
to
the
workforce.
They
may
have
transportation
issues.
The
reality
is
state
government.
Has
a
lot
of
programs
in
the
local
community-based
organizations
have
opportunities
to
leverage
their
efforts,
be
able
to
serve
people
in
the
multiple
issues
that
prepare
them
to
be
successful
in
the
workforce?
J
So
people
can
get
back
into
the
workforce
and,
as
I
said,
this
idea
about
long
term
is
if
you
get
a
report,
if
you
read
some
of
the
data
and
the
reports
from
the
local
school
districts
across
the
state,
there's
there's
hundreds,
if
not
several
thousands
of
vacancies
and
teachers
and
educator
positions,
which
means
that
too
many
kids
are
not
getting
the
quality
of
education.
They
need
and
deserve.
J
This
is
nevada
is
a
state
that
has
not
secured
as
significant
amount
of
federal
funds
as
other
states
on
a
per
capita
basis,
they've
been
improving
over
the
last
year
or
two
or
three,
but
there's
a
lot
of
room
for
improvement.
There's
new
legislative
new
law
that
was
passed
new
agency
that
was
created
that
I
think
will
set
you
up
for
significant
increase
in
this
area
and
as
those
funds
come
in,
it'll
import
be
important
that
the
agencies
and
this
this
body
really
stresses
the
notion
of
integrating
and
aligning
those
resources
to
the
state's
needs.
J
J
So
what
I'd
love
to
be
able
to
do
is
stop
talking
at
this
point
and
with
the
questions
that
are
up
on
the
on
the
screen,
hopefully,
is
really
take
your
questions
about.
Were
there
any
as
you've
read
this
report
or
looked
at
the
recommendations,
answer
any
questions
around
what
was
in
the
report
or
the
recommendations
included
and
then
talk
about
if
there
were
anything
that
you
felt
was
missing
or
any
priority
or
any
recommendations
that
you
didn't
think
made
it
onto
the
priority
list?
J
And,
finally,
I
think,
what's
most
important
is
start
starting
to
have
a
conversation
of
what
is
the
role
of
this
body,
the
governor's
workforce
development
board
to
help
strengthen
the
integration
and
coordination
across
agency
and
between
sectors
to
enhance
the
state's
education
and
workforce
system
in
the
necessary
wrap
around
services.
So,
mr
chairman,
let
me
turn
it
back
to
you.
If
you
want
to
facilitate
the
conversation,
but
would
love
to
have
that
conversation.
D
D
J
Sure
so
the
the
focus
on
this
is
the
whole
education
to
workforce
system.
So
a
lot
of
the
recommend
number
of
the
recommendations
are
talking
about
strengthening
the
voice
of
business.
So
it's
it's
as
as
going
as
done
is
revitalizing
the
sector
council
it's
about
post-secondary,
so
it's
making
sure
that
you're
starting
to
understand
the
credentials
that
work
the
that
employers
need.
So
I
think
that
if
you
look
again
on
the
some
of
the
recommendations
across
the
board,
it
is
not
a
narrowly
focused
set
of
recommendations
on
k-12
or
or
even
early
childhood.
J
There
are
strong
push.
For
example,
one
of
the
data
points
that
I
shared
is
is
the
state
has
one
of
the
lowest
percentages
of
credentials
and
degrees
in
the
country,
and
so
this
is
a
huge
opportunity
for
the
state
to
really
focus
on
one
taking
the
data
that
that
goed
and
and
dieter
provide
and
being
able
to
understand
what
are
the
credentials.
J
D
Good
thank
you
and
that
two
more
questions
and
then
real
quick
and
to
that
point
you
were
just
making
skills-based
economy,
seems
to
be
a
lot
of
employers.
Moving
away
from
saying,
I
can't
wait
four
years.
I
can't
wait
two
years.
I
just
need
people
who
can
work
today,
any
thoughts
on
that
and
then
the
the
last
question.
J
So
one
thing
that
this
body
could
do
is
really
stress
with
employers
the
more
they
can
do
that
skills
and
competency.
Job
description,
the
better
that
the
community
college
and
the
four-year
the
post-secondary
system
can
really
start
to
build
those
credentials.
So
I
do
know
that
the
various
agencies
are
aggregating.
J
What
those
skills
and
competencies
are-
and
I
know
with
nc's
efforts
around
their
task
force
on
workforce
readiness,
they're
starting
to
understand
what
those
credentials
are,
and
I
think
that's
a
prime
area
to
really
push
hard
on
so
that
you're
starting
to
get
those
one
and
two
year
credentials
kind
of
expanded
very
quickly.
So
that's
that's
a
key
piece.
J
The
other
piece
ryan
about
the
best
practice
is
there
are
a
number
of
states
that
have
started
to
use
technology
significantly
better,
where
they're
doing
the
integration
of
wraparound
services.
So,
for
example,
hawaii
has
started
a
program.
Ohio
has
one
where,
if
an
individual
walks
into
a
one-stop,
so
a
service
provider
that
is
offering
workforce
readiness
support,
an
individual
would
walk
in
or
they're
starting
to
do
it
virtually
as
well,
and
they
would
be
able
to
present
their
basic
documentation
one
time
and
that
this
the
technology
would
basically
say
all
right.
J
If
you
are
underemployed
or
undereducated,
you
have
kids,
you
would
start
to
identify
what
the
state
agencies
programs
are
in
any
agency,
not
just
where
you're
presenting
engaging.
So
I
think
the
use
of
technology
would
be
a
very
strong
one.
The
other
is
some
cross-training
of
agency
staff
and
again
the
state
is
starting
to
do
more
and
more
of
that,
through
your
one-stops
and
through
the
various
agencies.
J
But
again,
if
you
had
stronger
cross
agency
across
program
training
for
the
frontline
navigators
and
people
that
are
interfacing
with
individuals
in
the
community
and
support
them
with
stronger
technology,
that
would
help
people
make
it
an
easier
process
to
tap
into
state
programs.
I
think
that
would
be
a
big
improvement
in
the
state.
F
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
This
is
assemblywoman
monroe
moreno
and
your
bucket
too.
You
mentioned
strengthening
this
board.
Currently,
as
I
look
at
our
board
makeup,
we
have
16
vacancies.
So
in
your
work,
did
you
see
what
other
states
are
using
as
best
practices
of
how
to
recruit
committed
people
to
their
boards
in
their
states?
How
they're
sourcing
those
folks
out?
So
we
can
fill
the
vacancies,
so
the
board
itself
can
be
stronger.
J
So
I
so
I
think
there
are
two
opportunities
to
improve,
so
so
one
I
think
it's
as
I
had
conversations
with
members
that
were
on
this
board
for
this
process.
A
number
of
them
identified
that
they
did
not
feel
that
they
were
focusing
on
kind
of
strategic
questions
and
and
pieces
that
they
felt
that
they
could
have
big
impact
on,
and
I
think
that,
with
the
from
what
I
understand,
with
the
chairman's
focus
on
what
are
those
key
elements
that
this
body
needs
to
focus
on.
J
I
think
there'll
be
more
interest
in
serving
on
this
board,
because
the
governor
is
prioritizing
this
work
that
the
chairman
is
focusing
the
agenda
on
key
aspects
of
breaking
down
silos.
So
I
think
one,
the
governor's
is
starting
to
move
on
filling
many
of
the
positions,
as
I
understand
it
and
two,
I
think
people
will
be
more
interested.
J
Employers
will
be
more
interested
in
serving
on
it
because,
hopefully,
with
the
chairman
and
the
rest
of
the
members
on
this
on
this
body,
they're
going
to
start
to
see
action
that
the
governor
is
asking
for
and
pushing
for
to
create
greater
integra
integration
across
agencies.
So
the
other,
the
other
way
to
think
about
this
is
best
way
to
get
others
on
the
board.
Is
you
all
need
be
advocates,
for
you
know
people
that
can
can
step
up
and
you
will
be
able
to
be
an
advocate
for
those
roles.
I
Richard
derek
zombie
for
the
record,
one
very,
very
good
presentation,
just
two
questions:
one
just
around
I'm
wrapping
my
head
around
child
care
right
and
these
wrap
around
services-
and
you
know
from
my
from
my
experience
this
is
you
know
these
are
conversations
we.
We
have
constantly
right,
there's
a
need
for
child
care
and
I
think
in
the
most
recently
released
our
funds.
We
have
about
approximately
400
billion
allocated
for
toward
child
care.
I
So
it
begs
me
to
ask
the
question:
is
it
a
lack
of
investment
in
these
areas,
or
should
we
be
looking
at
these
areas
from
formal
practices
differently?
Right
and
that's?
My
question.
J
So
the
recommendation
I
made
in
in
this
report
is
about:
how
do
you
overcome
the
challenges
in
child
care
right?
So
the
the
one
of
the
most
significant
ones
is.
The
the
wages
in
child
care
are
so
low
that
the
the
work
for
the
child
care
workforce
has
a
lot
of
transition,
and
so,
if
the
state
were
to
think
about
subsidizing,
the
cost
or
providing
tax
credits
for
companies
that
are
providing
child
care
along
with
some
training
program,
community
colleges
could
offer.
J
You
could
create
almost
a
pathway
in
to
these
child
care
opportunities
so
that
there's
both
better
training
for
it
and
you're,
creating
a
workforce
you're,
creating
a
workforce
that
can
be
able
to
serve
these
children
so
you're
doing
in
a
sense
two
for
one
which
is
you're,
creating
a
workforce
and
every
time
you
expand
the
capacity
of
your
existing
child
care
opportunities.
J
More
people
can
use
them
which
then
they
can
go
into
the
work.
So
I
think
it's
about
using
the
resources.
You
have
to
think
about
this
as
a
pathway
in
for
a
lot
of
individuals
that
may
not
have
a
lot
of
skills,
but
can
engage
and
work
with
children
successfully
with
some
training
that
they
could.
They
could
use.
I
All
right,
richard
derek
zombie,
for
the
record
so
is
the
is
the
challenge
here.
Just
the
lack
of
capacity
in
child
care
resources.
Would
that
be?
Would
that
be
accurate.
J
Well,
it's
it's
a
lack
of
number
of
high
quality
child
care
slots
right,
so
the
the
idea
here
is
and-
and
you
saw
in
david's
report,
the
the
low
participation
rate
is.
We
know
that
as
schools
shut
down
or
as
children
weren't
attending
school,
many
young
families
and
single
parents
were
having
to
stay
home
because
they
did
not
have
a
place
to
go.
So
I
think
it
is
in
many
ways
and
again
this
is
not
just
what
the
what
your
state
is
facing.
J
This
is
the
issue
across
the
country
is,
there
needs
to
be
more
opportunities
for
livable
wages,
for
people
to
work
in
child
care
and
an
opportunity
for
child
care
companies
to
expand,
because
we
just
need
more
slots
that
are
that
are
safe
and
educationally
good
educational
opportunities
for
for
these
young
families
to
be
able
to
place
their
children.
I
Got
it
my
second
question
on
derek
jenfe
again
for
their
record
is,
I
think
it's
you
know.
Maybe
it's
not
widely
known,
but
it's
or
maybe
it
is,
is,
I
know
our
state.
The
state
of
nevada
specifically
is
most
susceptible
to
technology
and
automation.
I
think
about
68.7
percent
of
jobs
in
our
state
would
be
automated
by
2030..
I
I
don't
see
you
know,
that's
not
quite
lee
or
you
know.
Maybe
it's
not
not,
maybe
not
in
the
presentation
not
reflected
in
the
report.
Any
insights
there.
J
John
I'm
not
familiar
with
the
statistics
you're
you're,
bringing
forward.
I
think
the
the
the
challenge
for
all
states
in
terms
of
automation
is
that,
ultimately,
you
won't
automate
everyone
out
of
all
jobs,
so
jobs
or
training
are
changing,
which
means
individual
individuals
need
skills
that
allow
them
to
change
as
the
jobs
change
and
so
again,
as
I
said,
with
a
state
that
has
one
of
the
lowest
percentages
of
individuals
with
post-secondary
credentials
or
degrees
you're
at
a
disadvantage
when
there's
a
downturn
or
significant
automation.
J
So
you
think
that
what
that
means
is
this
is
your
opportunity
to
start
to
think
about.
Where
are
those
jobs,
skills
that
are
growing
in
the
state,
whereas
whether
it's
logistics,
health
care,
I.t,
there's
a
significant
number
of
growth
areas
within
the
state?
And
I
think
that's
where
you
need
to
lean
into
these
opportunities
of
aligning
the
credentials
and
the
industry
recognized
credentials
that
are
growing
and
start
to
build
out
the
capacity
and
the
ways
both
in
the
high
school
post
and
the
post-secondary
opportunity.
F
This
is
dan
geraldo
as
you're
speaking
about
those
skills
that
can
that
that
are
needed.
I,
I
think
one
of
the
things
maybe
we
should
focus
on
too
is
we've
seen
the
recession
hit
us
a
few
different
times
and
looking
at
maybe
the
set
of,
and
I
think
you
had
these
percentages
out
that,
if
were
the
the
groups
that
were
affected
most-
and
I
think
one
you
brought
up
with
and
help
me
if
I
get,
the
percentage
rate
was
27
percent.
Was
it
the
that
did
not
have
high
school.
F
Graduation
was
one
of
the
most
affected
groups
when,
when
they
lost
the
jobs,
was
that
correct?
Yes?
F
Okay,
it's
maybe
we
still
start
looking
at
as
a
board
started
looking
at
those
different
groups
that
were
affected
the
most
during
the
recessions,
and
maybe
part
of
that
is
laying
in
the
skills
and
then
looking
at
the
other
recommendations
as
well.
Thank
you.
J
And
to
that
point,
and
tying
it
back
to
david's
report
the
the
highlighted
areas
in
that
that
one
chart
that
was
too
small
to
read
but
you'll
enjoy
reading
it
when
emails
is
that
gives
you
the
targeted
areas
and
so
really
what
popped
up
as
I
looked
at
the
data
is
its
single
women,
single
mothers,
young
families,
african-american
and
in
low-income
populations,
and
so
what
I
would
encourage
is,
as
you
are
focusing
on
this,
because
it's
it's
not
best
practice
to
just
kind
of
think
about
the
state
as
a
whole,
but
start
to
break
down
those
policies
and
the
interventions.
A
The
calib
up
north
I'd
like
to
see
hear
from
you
what
resonated
with
you
from
the
presentation.
E
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
the
opportunity
and
haven't
been
at
least
included
in
many
of
the
discussions
with
mr
lane
throughout
this
process.
I
I
think
that
there
there
really
is
a
huge
amount
or
a
significant
amount
of
great
work.
That's
gone
into
this
report
and
refining
the
recommendations
down
to
the
13
that
were
were
provided,
and
this
has
had
a
significant
impression
or
made
a
significant
impression
on
the
workforce
and
talent
development
task
force
that
we're
working
on
at
the
system
of
higher
education
as
well.
E
I
didn't
begin
by
saying
caleb
cage
for
the
record
I
apologize,
and
so
I
don't
think
that
there
are
any
items
included
in
this
report
that
are
outside
of
the
scope
or
or
direction
of
what
we're
looking
at
in
our
strategic
planning
process
for
the
system
of
higher
education.
E
450
committee,
which
has
been,
is
taking
a
slightly
different
direction
right
now,
but
is
focused
on
workforce
development
initiatives
as
well
so
focusing
on
on
these
items
and
making
sure
that
we
are
doing
what
we
need
to
do
to
make
sure
there's
access,
but
also
making
sure
that
our
credentialing
programs
and
stackable
programs
are
leading
into
degree
programs
as
necessary
and
and
of
course,
as
mr
lane
was
talking
about
earlier,
making
sure
that
these
industry
industry
sector
councils
are
involved
in
the
discussions
around
creating
curriculum
and
updating
curriculum
and
those
sorts
of
things
as
well.
E
So
I
don't,
I
don't
see
any
any
challenges
against
what
richard
was
has
provided
in
this
report.
I
think
it's
really
encouraging
that
it's
providing
some
road
map
for
us
going
forward
that
that,
quite
frankly,
really
aligns
with
a
lot
of
the
work
we're
doing
internally
at
the
system
of
higher
education
right
now.
So
that's
my
feedback
for
what
it's
worth.
Mr
chairman,.
C
C
I
I'm
interested
in
your
research
on
the
I
know
we
talk
about
k-12
and
but
I'm
I'm
up
in
the
state
of
washington
right
now
and
interesting
to
talk
to
people
about
workforce
development
up
here
and
some
of
the
things
they're
doing
there's
in
this
state,
particularly
with
the
dot
in
that
they
they
have
now
hired
people
instead
of
having
them
go
to
school
and
get
some
extra
training
of
hire,
people
just
and
they're
getting
their
on-the-job
training.
C
Have
you
in
your
research,
come
across
other
states
that
are
doing
that
kind
of
work
as
well.
J
So
richard
lane,
for
the
record,
so
a
number
of
states
are
really
leaning
into
the
idea
of
apprenticeships
internships
kind
of
work
based
learning,
both
in
as
as
students
get
older
in
high
school
and
then
in
post-secondary
and
beyond
nevada
is
actually,
I
will
say,
kind
of
on
the
leading
edge
in
many
ways
on
on
some
of
the
apprenticeships
and
internships,
because
they've
re
they've
been
able
to
secure
a
number
of
federal
grants
around
apprenticeships.
J
I
think
there
are
opportunities
to
build
on
that,
but
I
think
that
the
key
thing
there
senator
is
again
you
need
to
be
clear
around.
Where
are
the
jobs
that
you
want
to
prioritize
and
starting
to
align
and
create
some
incentives
for
people
to
go
into
those
kind
of
apprenticeship
programs
so
and
again,
to
the
chairman's
point
about
building
partnerships
between
the
public
and
private
sector,
the
stronger
you
can
be
in
terms
of
getting
input
from
the
employers
across
the
state
about
what
their
skills
are
and
getting
them
to
be
a
partner
in
it.
J
In
terms
of
the
apprenticeships
program,
those
are
some
of
the
best
practices,
so
I
know
some
of
the
work.
That's
going
on
in
washington
some
of
the
really
strong
work
around
apprenticeships
in
south
carolina
and
in
ohio
happened
because
the
business
community
stepped
up
offered
up
training
programs
helped
define
the
skill,
sets
the
curriculum
and
also
some
of
the
training.
J
So
it
was
a
collaboration
between
the
public
and
private
sector
so
between
higher
ed
and
employers
in
shaping
what
the
correct
curriculum
was,
because
there's
nothing
like
having
the
latest
materials
instruction
and
kind
of
the
expectations
that
people
will
be
able
to
kind
of
walk
between
learning
on
the
job
as
well
as
learning
in
the
classroom.
So
there
are
some
great
examples
that
you
can
build
on
from
within
the
state,
but
I
think
it
is
an
opportunity
to
expand.
J
C
That
that
was
going
to
be
my
follow-up,
if
you
could
share
with
us
some
of
the
states
that
you
feel
are
taking
the
lead
on
that
that
I
would
really
appreciate
that.
A
Thank
you
senator
crystal,
can
you
see,
can
share
with
us
from
your
perch
what
you
resonated
with
you
from
the
report.
F
Basically,
I'm
really
interested
in
reaching
out
and
trying
to
attract
the
underserved,
the
the
women
population,
especially
in
non-traditional
jobs,
I'm
more
interested
in
getting
the
information
and
hitting
the
ground
running
and
reaching
out
to
them.
So
thank
you.
F
Mike
is
not
on
there.
I
feel
that
the
information
that
is
actually
being
provided
to
us
have
there
has
been
a
good
job
done
on
it.
I
am
really
concerned
about
the
child
care
part
with
with
actually
within
this
grant,
I
happen
to
know
of
young
people
as
I
go,
especially
young
adults
as
I
go
through
the
community
that
actually
have
children
that
just
choose
not
to
even
pursue
a
work
at
all
because
of
their
children,
and
this
was
actually
happening
before
copic
and
even
with
kovic.
Now
is
even
worse.
F
So
I
think
the
part
of
this
grant
that
will
help
us
with
child
care
is
very
important.
J
Chairman
yesterday,
if
I
could
add
richard
lane
for
the
record,
so
there
has
been
a
number
of
studies
within
state
and
nationally
about
you,
know:
child
care,
high
quality
child
care
is
now
costing
families
anywhere
from
eight
to
ten
thousand
dollars
and
up.
J
And
if
you
think
about
what
a
low
you
know,
kind
of
minimum
wage
worker
is
earning.
What
we
just
heard
is
the
trade-off
is
for
many
people.
They
choose
just
to
stay
home,
so
ways
to
think
about
creating
more
modest
costs.
J
Child
care
is
going
to
be
important
and
again
thinking
about
that
as
a
opportunity
to
have
individuals,
maybe
with
less
skill,
but
with
some
good
training
being
able
to
go
into
that
workforce,
gives
you
an
opportunity
for
more
low-income
individuals
to
have
access
to
child
care
and
then
be
able
to
enter
back
into
the
workforce,
and
if
you
thought
about
it,
that
way
go
again.
Going
back
to
david
smith's
chart
that
showed
the
low
participation
rate.
F
Dave
drivel
of
this
for
the
record
yeah.
That's
that's
the
one
that
really
jumped
out
for
me
too,
and-
and
I
wrote
a
note
next,
I
wrote
double
dip
next
to
it,
which
is
what
you
were
talking
about,
that
that
getting
getting
a
workforce
that
can
provide
that
child
care
will
will
provide
a
solution
for
the
workforce
that
needs
child
care
in
order
to
go
back
to
work.
But
but
in
addition
to
that,
I'm
wondering
and-
and
I
think
this
I
feel
like
this-
is
a
a
coming
barrier.
F
Affordable
housing
seems
like
it's
going
to
be
an
issue.
It's
going
to
be
another
barrier
going
forward
where,
where
we're
going
to
be
we're
going
to
lose
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
potential
workforce
due
to
the
housing
costs
and-
and
I
don't
know-
if
that's
I
don't
know-
if
that's
something
that
could
be
addressed
in
this-
I
don't
know
if
that's
something
that
that
is
down
the
road
but
but
it
just
seems
like
that's
one
that
that
there's
no
way
that's
not
going
to
be
a
big
issue
real
soon.
J
I
do
know
that
you
know
the
governors
prioritize
this
and-
and
I
think
it's
a
crucial
issue
when
you
think
about
the
cost
of
housing,
whether
it's
rent
or
buying
is
is,
is
in
a
sense
outstripping
what
people
are
earning.
So
I
think
paying
attention
to
that.
Thinking
about
new
creative
ways
to
to
bring
young
families
into
home
ownership
is
a
great
way
for
them
to
build
equity.
J
There's
some
interesting
examples
of
work
both
in
other
states,
but
also
other
countries
where
they're
subsidizing
or
lowering
the
kind
of
some
of
the
costs
for
entry
into
home
ownership.
But
unless
you
build
more
houses
and
get
expand
the
housing
stock
that
will
be
an
issue
that's
going
to
be
coming
up,
if
not
already
in
many
of
your
communities.
E
In
response
to
the
last
question
about
housing
the
governor
two
weeks
ago,
I
think
it
was
committed
500,
000,
of
federal
money
for
affordable
housing.
I
know
that
nevada
rural
housing
got
a
piece
of
that.
E
E
E
We
defined
those
problems
that
we're
facing
as
recruiting
training
and
housing.
We
we
don't
have
any
of
those.
E
I
that's
particularly
interested
in
mr
lang's
study.
We
talked
about
what
happens
to
kids.
Education
now
affects
their
life
going
forward
and
I
think
it
was
about
a
month
or
six
weeks
ago,
the
school
superintendent
of
clark
county
school
district
said
that
two-thirds
of
our
third
graders
can't
read
at
grade
level.
E
E
How
does
how
does
mr
lang,
this
guest
question
for
you?
I
suppose
how
does
this
board,
with
whatever
powers
it
have?
Has
imp
advise
other
entities,
the
governor,
the
legislature,
on
a
simple
thing
like
how
do
we
create
tax
credits
for
child
care?
How
do
we
implement
the
recommendations
that
you've
outlined.
J
You
were
asking
the
64
000
questions,
but
let
me
give
you
a
couple
options
or
ideas
right
so
is,
as
you
think
about
it.
You
know,
and
I
look
at
best-
practices
for
governor's
workforce
development
boards,
there's
kind
of
two
camps
of
kind
of
the
bad
practice.
First,
the
good
practice,
the
bad
practice
is
they
get
fixated
on
all
the
ticky
tacky
workforce.
Innovation
act
changes
in
the
plan.
J
So
I
think
that
the
difference
is
is,
as
I
looked
into
kind
of
the
historic
of
history
of
this
book
body.
Most
of
the
time
when
I
looked
at
some
of
the
agendas
it
was
agency
report
after
agency
report.
I
think
this
body
is
shifting
so
that
there's
a
substantive
conversation
around
as
david
presented
key
data
and
now
this
to
focus
on
what
are
those
strategic
things
I
think
the
chairman
is
is
is
pivoting
that
so
that
you're
focusing
on
the
strategy?
J
Second,
don't
try
to
do
too
many
things.
You
know
if
there's
a
small
handful
of
key
pieces
that
you
all
can
play.
It
is
if,
if
it's
not
asking
for
individual
reports
from
agencies,
but
focus
on
the
points
of
intersection
between
agencies,
that
would
have
significant
impact
so,
for
example,
in
child
care
and
services
to
people
that
need
child
care.
That's
that's
clearly.
J
Dhhs
is
involved
in
that
dieter
is
involved
in
that
the
local
workforce
partnerships,
or
so,
if
you
start
to
identify
kind
of
the
key
questions
that
you
will
keep
coming
back
to
kind
of
meeting
after
meeting.
J
Without
you
know,
it's
doesn't
have
to
be
every
meeting
talking
the
same
issue,
but
if
you
can
identify
within
these
pieces,
you
know
how
do
you
keep
the
pressure
on,
for
example,
the
points
of
intersection
where
you
all
have
an
opportunity
to
influence
what
happens
at
the
local
workforce
investment
boards,
if
you
can
push
and
support
them
to
find
points
of
intersection,
and
one
of
the
recommendations
in
here
is
about
supporting
their
use
of
technology
in
the
cross,
training
and
they're
already
doing
some
of
it,
but
give
them
stronger
support
for
that.
J
That
would
be
an
opportunity
to
do
it
or
to
your
point,
and
I
would
agree
with
you
about
the
the
need
for
for
strengthening
education.
J
Maybe
what
you
want
to
think
about
is
is
if
you
can
have
a
competitive
advantage,
quality
of
life-
salary
whatever
it
might
be.
Maybe
you
go,
I
hate
to
say
it
if
I'm
not
working
in
other
states,
I'm
working
for
your
state,
maybe
you
go
poach
teacher
graduates
from
asu
or
utah
state
or
the
cal
state
system.
J
You
need
quick
solutions
to
very
urgent
problems.
And
again,
if
you
look
at
the
data
in
clark
county,
I
think
there
was
in
excess
of
a
thousand
teachers
that
they
started
the
year
or
a
thousand
classrooms.
They
started
the
year
with
a
substitute
teacher.
So
I
think
I
think
it's
stay
focused
on
strategic
questions
for
this
body.
J
Don't
don't
don't
kind
of
lose
focus
and
and
kind
of
keep
changing
topics,
get
the
key
element
and
then
keep
pushing
for
integration
of
of
those
points
of
intersection
between
agencies
and
between
public
sector
and
the
private
sector,
and
then
encourage
your
agency
leads
and
your
local
partners
to
think
creatively
and
to
really
change
the
trajectory
of
of
the
talent
that
you
have
and
the
supports
they
have
to
really
use
state
and
federal
funds.
More
creatively
to
align
to
the
workforce
needs.
A
So
we
can
start
talking
about
the
practical
solutions
we
need,
because
we
can
talk
about
all
the
phds
and
rocket
sciences
rocket
scientists
we
want
in
the
state,
but
if
we
don't
start
addressing
the
foundational
underpinnings
of
getting
us
where
we
need
to
be
we're
not
going
to
get
anywhere.
So.
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
lane.
We
appreciate
your
time
today.
Mr
chairman,.
J
Can
I
just
one
last
comment
on
that?
One,
if
I
could
is
so
as
you're
bringing
if
they're
as
you're
bringing
them
in,
don't
forget
to
bring
in
goed
and
others
that
are
working
with
private
sector,
because
they
are,
the
private
sector
is
creating
new
opportunities
around
child
care
as
well
and
so
think
creatively
about
who
needs
to
be
involved
in
those
solutions.
But
I
look
forward
to
working
with
you
and
the
rest
of
the
board
any
way
I
can
so.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity.
A
Well,
we
appreciate
that
input
and
rest
assured
the
this
committee's
mantra
will
be.
No
silos
will
be
tolerated.
Thank
you
very
much.
All
right.
Moving
on
to
agenda
item
number
nine
I'll
ask
that
a
representative
from
each
local
board
and
title
program.
Please
provide
a
brief
summary
of
any
highlights
from
this
quarter
and
we
do
have
a
couple
that
we
are
going
to
skip
because
of
illness,
but
we
will
be
getting
you
information
as
needed.
So
the
chair
recognizes
our
team
from
workforce
connections.
K
Thank
you,
mr
chair
ricardo,
villalobos,
chief
programs,
officer
for
workforce
connections,
southern
nevada's,
local
workforce
development
board
here
on
behalf
of
our
executive
director,
jaime
cruz,
and
I
can
skip
my
report
based
on
mr
lang's
recommendation
of
a
bad
practice
for
this
report.
If
need
be,
but
no,
I
do
appreciate
the
opportunity
I
just
want
to
highlight
a
few
things:
we're
one
of
17
wheel
and
mandated
partners
in
the
system
in
in
your
report.
You'll
find
a
litany
of
kind
of
items
we
wanted
to
share
with
this
board.
K
K
The
hubs
are
a
collaboration
between
workforce
connections,
dieter,
the
vegas
chamber,
the
las
vegas
clark,
county
library,
district
and
the
municipalities
of
north
las
vegas
and
henderson.
One
highlight
amongst
these
actually
there's
two
highlights
our
north
las
vegas.
Small
business
center
has
served
more
than
300
businesses
in
its
first
six
months
of
operation
and
then,
secondly,
is
related
to
these
employing
v
business
hubs.
K
The
second
item
I
want
to
highlight
is
we'll
be
opening
two
new
american
job
centers
one
at
the
green
valley,
las
vegas
or
green
valley
library
in
henderson,
and
then,
which
will
be
a
combination
of
first
of
its
kind,
a
combination
of
an
employee
business
hub
which
focuses
in
on
employers
and
then
also
opening
an
employee
career
hub,
which
the
focus
is
for
job
seekers.
So
it'll
be
a
first
of
its
kind.
K
Because
right
now
we
have
five
business
hubs
and
quite
a
few
career
hubs,
but
this
will
be
a
first
to
bring
both
together
in
one
location.
So
we're
excited
about
that.
We'll
also
be
opening
our
first
employing
v
youth
hub.
K
That
is
specific
around
serving
youth
that
go
into
that
are
in
our
community,
particularly
in
school,
youth
and
out
of
school
youth
who
are
economically
disadvantaged,
we'll
be
opening
that,
in
partnership
with
the
library
district
here
in
the
next
few
months,
it'll
be
located
at
the
west
charleston
library
within
the
csn
west
charleston
proximity.
K
The
third
thing
I'll
mention
is
our
work
ready
communities
that
revolve
around
the
act.
I
think
to
mr
woodward's
point
earlier
about
a
skills-based
economy.
This
is
definitely
one
solution
that
takes
us
in
that
direction.
K
We
have
recently
I
mean,
besides
being
the
largest
cert
act,
certified
work
ready
community
as
clark
county.
Our
jurisdiction
involves
the
the
counties
of
lincoln
known
as
morel,
and
we've
begun
the
certification
process
for
those
counties
to
be
recognized
as
an
act.
Work
ready
community
as
well.
So
we're
excited
about
that.
Someone
had
mr
ling
also
made
a
point
regarding
you
know
not
working
in
silos
when
it
comes
to
collaboration.
K
K
529
applicants
submitted
the
first
phase,
weaned
it
down
to
about
60.
right
now,
lvgea
in
partnership
with
all
the
partners
is
within
the
second
phase
for
20
to
30
to
be
selected
amongst
the
60
and
we
feel
pretty
confident
about
it.
The
second
thing
is,
as
related
to
the
eda
workforce
connections,
took
the
lead
on
the
good
good
jobs
challenge,
which
emphasizes
workforce
development
for
a
28
million
dollar
grant.
K
The
level
of
leadership
collaboration
engagement
by
partners
was
evidenced
by
over
113
letters
of
commitment
and
support
from
a
variety
of
employers
and
community
partners.
The
letters
were
submitted.
It
demonstrated
that
san
nevada
is
shovel
ready
to
receive
the
grant
and
get
the
job
get
the
work
going
and
be
competitive
with
this
project.
So
we'll
know
in
in
the
fall
whether
or
not
we
receive
the
the
award
and
we're
pretty
confident.
We
will.
I
mean
again
to
your
point,
mr
chair.
K
L
Good
afternoon
milt
stewart
for
the
record,
ceo
of
nevadaworks.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
present
today.
Nevadaworks
submitted
their
full
report
to
the
board
and
it
should
be
in
your
board
packet
but
similar
to
ricardo
I'll.
L
Just
point
out
some
of
the
highlights
the
the
one
stop
center
here
in
reno
the
foot
trap,
the
phone
and
foot
traffic
has
increased
month
over
month
through
the
last
quarter,
which
I
think
shows
that
that
there's
more
activity
at
that
one-stop
center
and
and
more
need
the
one-stop
customer
experience
continues
to
approve
through
the
implementation
of
some
interagency
referral
forms
so
that
we
can
manage
and
track
flow
for
customers,
particularly
from
a
co-enrollment
perspective.
L
Nevada
works
has
a
skill
up:
northern
nevada,
free
online
learning
portal,
that's
available
to
all
of
northern
nevada
residents
in
in
our
local
area.
The
the
the
company
that
produce
a
product.
Metrics
learning
does
outreach
for
us
through
text
and
email
campaigns
and
through
those
efforts.
Those
enrollments
continue
to
improve
the
mate.
The
majority
of
the
classes
that
are
that
are
being
taken
are
in
soft
skills,
and
so
we're
glad
that
we
have
that
available.
L
Nevada
works
is
also
participating
in
the
act.
Work
ready
community
initiative
here
up
in
northern
nevada,
we're
working
with
the
washoe
county
library
system.
Washoe
county
has
been
recognized
as
an
att
work,
ready
community
and
so
we're
working
with
them
through
a
leadership
committee
to
to
continue
those
efforts
and
get
the
word
out.
L
Nevada
works
has
two
national
dislocated
worker
grants.
Those
enrollments
continue
to
improve
and
we
have
asked
for
a
no-cost
extension
with
the
department
of
labor
to
for
additional
time
to
meet
our
contracted
objectives.
We,
so
our
service
providers
have
found
some
difficulties
in
in
finding
folks
that
meet
the
criteria
for
those
eligibility
criteria
for
those
grants,
so
we're
hoping
that
we
can
get
that
extension
to
to
spend
out
those
dollars.
L
We
also
have,
through
goin
an
h1b
rural
healthcare
grant.
Those
enrollments
are
starting
to
pick
up
they're
in
cohorts,
and
so
the
next
cohort
is
is
going
coming
off
soon
and
this
grant
we
administer
through
the
nevada
hospital
association
and
they
have
ramped
up
their
efforts,
particularly
in
those
rural
communities,
to
help
serve
more
of
those
rural
populations.
L
Rural
communities,
the
our
enrollments
for
program
year
2021,
so
this
current
year
are
up
over
31
percent
from
last
year
and
we
feel
that
that's
most
likely
due
to
the
decrease
that
we
experienced
during
covet
when,
when
all
the
coveted
restrictions
were
in
place,
nevada
works
has
met
or
exceeded.
All
of
the
us
department
of
labor
negotiated
rates
for
all
the
common
measures.
L
We've
also
partnered
with
multiple
organizations,
western
nevada
development,
district,
edon
and
other
regional
development
authorities,
ng
institutions
and
and
private
employers
to
submit
a
good
jobs
challenge
grant
for
a
roughly
15
million
dollars
and
which
will
target
historically
underserved
populations,
including
the
tribes
and,
as
ricardo
said,
we're
we're
looking
forward
to
receiving
word
on
that
in
in
in
the
fall.
L
We
also
continue
to
work
with
stakeholders,
including
including
gohan
and
dieter,
on
the
sandy
grant
and
the
grow
with
google
initiatives
which,
which
we
mentioned
in
our
in
our
full
report,
and
then
probably
the
most
exciting
thing
that's
happening
at
nevada
works
is
that
our
board
has
had
multiple
strategic
planning
sessions
and
has
identified
some
shortened
long-term
goals
towards
becoming
a
higher
level
or
higher
performing
local
workforce
development
board,
and
so
at
our
next
meeting
in
june,
10th
we're
going
to
take
that
work
and
we're
going
to
expand
upon
it,
so
that
you
know
it's
great
when
we
hear
that
workforce
connections
is,
is,
is
getting
these
national
awards.
L
A
This
is
hugh
anderson
for
the
record,
mr
stewart,
for
the
next
meeting.
Some
of
those
programs
that
you
talked
about
that
were
rolling
along
nicely.
Would
you
be
able
to
provide
us
with
some
data
in
terms
of
actual
numbers
and
growth
patterns,
as
well
as
funds
expended,
and
you
know
the
results
that
you're
seeing.
A
I
Mr
derek
jump,
you
put
a
record
I'm
looking
at
this.
The
skill,
skill
of
nevada
scale
up
northern
nevada
online
learn
important.
I
see
that
almost
a
thousand
people
have
registered,
so
you
know
congrats
there,
one
of
one
of
the
biggest
thing
that
comes
to
me
when
it
comes
to
digital
skills.
Is
people
get
in,
but
are
people
actually
in
there
right?
I
There's
an
access,
there's,
an
access
issue
where
you
know
we
make
the
assumption
that,
because
you
know
because
people
have
the
device,
so
they
have
the
tools,
they
know
how
to
go
in
there
and
actually
participate.
Do
you
have
any
data
there?
Can
you
provide
any
context
of
these
968
people?
What's
what's
the
activity
in
the
portal.
L
Sure
milt
stewart
for
the
record,
so
I
can
provide
numbers,
but
I
can
kind
of
anecdotally
tell
you
that
somewhere
in
the
order
of
500
classes
have
been
completed
by
those
900
900
people,
and
there
are
multiple
others
that
are
still
in
progress
with
regards
to
you
know:
digital
access
or
digital
literacy.
L
A
All
right,
nancy
olson
from
title
ii
is
not
here
today,
so
any
questions
about
title
two's
report
can
be
emailed
to
go
and
staff.
And
now
the
chair
recognizes
a
representative
from
title
three.
J
B
C
C
C
C
Carlene
johnson
for
the
record,
esd
deputy
administrator,
you
will
see
in
our
report
for
title
3
the
different
levels
of
performance.
To
date
for
your
information,
I
would
like
to
highlight
that
both
the
northern
and
southern
business
service
offices
have
been
holding
hiring
events
for
different
employers
and
have
been
very
successful
in
placing
numerous
individuals
in
very
good
paying
jobs
from
15
an
hour
up
to
almost
thirty
dollars
an
hour,
and
then
the
two
programs,
as
far
as
training
are
going,
is
the
rhodes
program,
which
is
realizing
opportunities
for
the
american
dream
to
success.
C
This
is
a
partnership
with
nevada
works,
western
nevada,
community
college
and
fish
that
is
serving
under
privileged
or
underemployed
unemployed,
individuals
that
have
other
barriers,
such
as
homelessness,
drug
addictions,
other
barriers
to
employment,
we're
doing
a
holistic
approach.
Currently
there
are
14
individuals
enrolled
in
the
first
cohort
and
we
will
give
you
those
outcomes
at
the
next
board
meeting
and
then
milt
stewart
touched
on
the
grow
with
google
that
is
being
sponsored
through
naswa,
the
national
association
of
workforce
association
and
those
are
free
certification
programs
in
the
it
field
in
project
management.
C
These
individuals
can
do
their
self-paced
and
they
are
guaranteed
at
the
end,
to
receive
their
certificate
if
they
pass
the
exams,
and
then
they
have
the
opportunity
for
over
150
fortune
500
companies
to
be
eligible
to
apply
and
perhaps
get
employment
with
those.
Currently
we
have
several
hundred
that
are
within
that
program.
No
one
has
graduated
yet
and
become
employed,
but
at
the
next
meeting
we
will
give
you
updates
for
that
program.
Also,
are
there
any
questions.
M
Good
afternoon,
thank
you.
My
name
is
drazen,
elvis
I'm
the
administrator
of
the
rehabilitation,
division,
rehabilitation,
division,
houses,
nevada's
vocational
rehabilitation,
which
is
vios
title
iv
and
just
as
a
reminder,
we
are
what
we
are.
Nevada,
provides
vocational
rehabilitation
services
to
individuals
with
disabilities
to
assist
in
obtaining
and
maintaining
jobs,
and
what
I
would
just
like
to
report
on
briefly,
as
as,
as
the
other
titles
just
touch
upon
some
parts
of
the
report,
or
highlight
some
aspects
of
the
report.
M
So
as
one
of
the
things
I
would
like
to
say
is
that
we
are
now
is
receiving
pre-pandemic
numbers
of
kind
of
or
seeing
pandemic
numbers
of
applicants
and
intakes,
which
is
somewhere
around
250
applications
that
we
are
seeing
per
month
for
our
services,
and
we
are
also
as
many
agencies
are
challenged
or
I'm
leveraging
that,
as
we
are
running
approximately
approximately
about
25
vacancy
staff,
stop
rate
in
terms
of
some
of
the
basic
measures
or
some
of
the
main
reasons
for
our
existence.
M
The
nevada
vr
has
had
about
413
successful
client
employment
outcomes
as
of
the
end
of
march,
or
in
other
words
we
have
helped
employ
413
individuals
with
disabilities,
and,
at
this
point,
nevada
vr
is
on
track
to
close
more
than
500
successful
client
employment
outcomes
by
the
end
of
the
state
fiscal
year,
and
just
also
the
the
point
of
qualification.
M
The
way
that
we
count
somebody
is
being
employed
is
once
we
can
place
them
at
a
job,
and
they
have
essentially
worked
there
for
for
nine
for
a
minimum
of
90
days
before
we
consider
closing
that
case.
So,
essentially,
once
they've
passed
their
probation
also
about
24
of
the
new
applicants
that
we
are
seeing
are
individuals
receiving
social
security,
income
or
social
security,
disability
income,
and
this
is
just
an
indication
that
this
population
is
considering
competitive,
integrated
employment.
M
The
current
situation
that
we
have
in
the
economy
is,
as
far
as
the
type
employment
market
goes
and,
and
the
displacement
is
being
feeling,
as
is,
is
able
to
to
find
good
jobs
out
there
good
paying
jobs
in
this
tight
market
and
kind
of
find
their
place,
and
one
of
the
initiatives
or
upcoming
plans
they
would
like
to
highlight
is
that
we
are
entering
the
pilot
with
path
to
independence
at
the
university
of
reno
nevada,
and
this
is
a
comprehensive
transition
program
designed
for
individuals
with
intellectual
and
developmental
disabilities
to
to
go
to
college.
M
We're
pretty
excited
about
this
program,
it's
it's
something
that
we've
talked
to
folks
from
in
our
in
the
past,
but
we
finally
have
found
the
best
way
to
kind
of
makes
our
services,
so
it
kind
of
provides
some
some
of
those
kind
of
comprehensive
services
that
we've
been
talking
about.
So
sure,
that's
a
that's
all
I
would
like
to
report
on.
So
if
there's
any
other
questions
on
any
of
the
copies
that
I've
covered
or
anything
else,
then
I'm
here
to
answer
those.
Thank
you.
A
C
Abuse
issues
need
to
begin
our
continued
recovery,
including
community-based
organizations,
employers
and
educational
institutions,
and
our
and
our
staff
are
continually
working
to
expand
vocational
training
options,
community
partners
and
employment
opportunities
for
all
of
our
tanf
employment
and
training
participants
and
snappy,
and
tea
participants
and
exciting
that
we
are
working
with
workforce
connections
to
establish
a
snap
employment
and
training
pilot
through
a
grant
that
was
awarded
to
workforce
connections.
A
Moving
on
to
item
number
10,
since
the
board
last
met
foreign
industry
sector
councils
met
for
the
first
time
and
due
to
amy
being
ill,
andres
is
going
to
give
us
an
update.
Andrews.
B
B
B
He
shared
some
of
the
same
slides
that
he
did
earlier
as
well
as
chelsea
wahlberg
from
the
office
of
economic
development
on
the
current
state
of
those
industries,
and
there
was
just
a
lot
of
informative
insight
that
can
help
this
board
in
the
state
at
large,
so
I'll
work
with
amy
to
draft
summaries,
the
main
takeaways
from
these
councils
and
make
sure
that
they're
shared
with
this
board.
Thank
you.
A
B
Yes,
thank
you,
mr
chairman.
It's
andres
fijo
from
the
office
of
workforce
innovation.
I
just
want
to
be
real,
quick
talk
about
our
board's
subcommittees.
I
talked
about
this
when
we
did
our
onboarding.
I
believe
that
was
in
january
the
as
you
see
on
the
powerpoint.
The
purpose
of
the
subcommittees
which
create
in
august
2020,
is
to
focus
on
specific
issues
facing
the
board
and
the
workforce
system
they're
both
comprised
of
both
board
and
non-board
members.
These
are
stakeholders
throughout
the
workforce
system,
such
as
from
state
agencies,
local
boards,
nonprofits.
So
there's
four.
B
B
B
Their
performance
and
reporting
they
were
created
to
recommend
performance,
metrics,
assist
with
data
and
performance
tracking
strategies
and
various
underserved
populations
was
organized
to
look
into
the
various
barriers
that
individuals
face
accessing
the
workforce
system.
It
means
to
remove
those
barriers
so
that
that's
the
really
high
level
overview
of
what
they
do.
I
I
will
work
on
a
primer
to
share
with
everyone.
B
We
do
have
four
current
subcommittees,
but
I've
had
discussions
with
the
chair
that
I
think,
would
make
sense,
probably
merge
continuous
improvement
and
performance
and
reporting,
because
they
kind
of
address
the
same
kind
of
questions
and
issues.
So
I
will
see
what
needs
to
be
done
to
make
sure
that
happens.
B
Personally,
I
would
like
to
make
these
subcommittees
a
really
important
part
of
this
board
I'll
work
with
the
chair
and
the
vice
chair
to
determine
sort
of
what
tasks
and
projects
that
these
subcommittees
can
be
used
to
help
the
worker
are
doing
like,
for
example,
with
the
wind
grant,
or
it
could
be
other
things
as
well.
It
could
also
be
a
place
to
learn
more
about
things
about
the
workforce
system.
B
Perhaps
there
are
things
that
you
would
like
to
learn
more
about,
what's
happening,
maybe
at
the
local
borders
job
connect
whatever
it
may
be,
and
we
can
use
the
sub
n
subcommittees
for
that
purpose.
So,
overall
the
work
done
at
the
subcommittee
level,
I
think,
is
the
most
interesting
and
the
opportunity
for
board
members
to
really
contribute.
I
really
love
the
level
of
engagement
that
we
saw
earlier
and
I
would
like
for
that
to
continue
at
the
subcommittee
level.
The
meetings
are
virtual.
B
They
meet
approximately
once
a
month
and
we
ask
that
every
board
member
is
serving
at
least
once
so.
I
will
be
sending
out
a
survey,
perhaps
maybe
next
week,
seeing
where
your
interests
lie
and
we'll
try
to
fairly
distribute
who
serves
where,
if
you
really
want
to
serve
more
than
one,
you
have
the
time
you
can,
but
we're
not
going
to
make
you
but
more
to
come
on
that,
because
I
would
like
to
have
further
discussions
with
the
chair
and
vice
chair.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
andres
and
I'd
like
to
respectfully
challenge
that
this
board
is
going
to
have
a
lot
of
fun
too.
So
that
being
said,
aila
young
is
also
ill.
Today,
so
andres
will
be
addressing
item
number
12.
B
B
You
go
so
on
april
6th
at
the
college
of
southern
nevada.
Perhaps
some
of
you
were
there
here
in
las
vegas.
We
had
a
very
important
event:
governor
sislek
joined
the
director
young
and
state
and
local
leaders
from
nde,
and
she
and
the
city
of
las
vegas
announced
a
collaborative
effort
between
amazon
web
services
and
k-12
higher
education
and
government
workforce
agencies
to
increase
access
to
cloud
computing
skills
training.
This
initiative
will
train
upskill
and
certify
2500,
the
haddons
and
cloud
computing
over
the
next
three
years.
B
If
you'd,
like
more
information
on
this,
please
reach
out
to
me
the
wheel
estate
plan
that
all
of
you
somehow
survived
that
meeting
in
february
it
was
submitted
and
we
did
get
some
constructive
feedback
on
areas
to
revise,
so
we're
currently
working
on
that,
but
hopefully,
in
the
next
couple
weeks
that
will
be
approved
just
a
couple
long-term
things
that
our
office
is
involved
in
that
I
will
be
glad
to
brief
the
board
more
on
and
just
in
the
in
just
a
time.
B
I
don't
want
to
get
too
much
into
it,
but
to
help
organize
and
accelerate
nevada's
access
to
quality,
non-degree
credentials.
Goings,
leading
the
state
team
of
representatives
from.
B
Peter
and
the
ng
and
community
based
organizations,
part
of
the
quality
post-secondary
credential
policy
academy,
sponsored
by
the
national
skills
coalition,
so
we'll
give
an
update
on
that
work.
In
the
next
meeting
in
late,
2021
gohan
began
engagement
with
representatives
from
theatre,
nde,
adult
education
and
to
local
boards
in
a
multi-state
evaluation,
peer
learning,
cohort
facilitated
by
the
us
department
of
labor
as
a
result
of
this
participation,
gohan
and
partner
state
agencies,
our
development
action
plan
to
begin
evidence-based
assessments,
and
we
owe
a
title
program.
B
So
I
think
that
will
be
in
interesting
work
for
that
and,
like
I
said,
we'll
have
more
information
at
the
next
meeting
we
submitted
in
a
report
we're
required
now
to
do
one
at
the
end
of
march.
I
believe
I
circulated
that
with
everyone.
If
you
have
not
received
it
I'll,
be
glad
to
share
it,
update
from
washington
the
wioa
reauthorization
bill.
This
was
supposed
to
be
reauthorized
a
couple
years
ago,
because
we
all
know
what
happened.
B
It
was
pushed
the
back
burner
with
the
workforce
innovation
opportunity,
reauthorization
bill,
2022
known
as
h.r
7309
passed.
The
house
committee
on
education
labor
a
few
weeks
back
now,
goes
before
the
full
house.
The
reauthorization
would
make
notable
changes
to
wioa,
including
an
increased
focus
on
equity,
job
quality
and
funding
to
expand
and
improve
workforce
services.
B
If
passed
in
its
current
form,
it
would
actually
have
an
effect
on
the
state
board
in
the
sense
that
the
workforce,
labor
representation
on
the
state
board
would
increase
its
pers
hentage.
Now
it's
currently
20
of
membership.
It
would
increase
10
points
to
30,
so
we
would
have
to
add
seats
if
that
would
happen,
assuming
that
it
does
not
get
changed.
I
don't
know
if
that
will
be
signed
into
law.
As
you
know,
it's
a
campaign
year,
so
they
are
in
a
rush
to
get
as
many
things
done
as
possible.
B
Finally,
at
the
bottom
of
the
screen
nepris,
my
colleague
amy
fleming-
was
going
to
talk
about
that,
but
she's
not
here
today,
so
I'll
have
her
send
an
email
for
those
of
you
that
know
what
that
don't
know
what
it
is.
It's
basically
an
online
virtual
program
where
those
from
from
various
areas
of
the
workforce
can
connect
directly
with
classrooms
and
students
and
basically
share
what
they
do.
So
a
science
classroom
can
have
an
interactive
presentation
from
someone
who
works
in
science,
not
just
in
the
state
but
across
the
country.
B
A
All
right.
Let's
move
on
to
item
number
three
13.
Excuse
me
general
discussion.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
you
understand
that
as
chair,
I
value
your
valuable
time
very
highly,
and
I
do
not
want
these
meetings
to
be
a
waste
of
your
time
or
a
checkbox
these
this.
This
board
is
going
to
get
a
lot
of
serious
work
done.
We
had
a
great
report
from
on
the
win
grant
earlier.
A
It
promoted
a
lot
of
discussion
at
this
section
of
the
meeting,
if
there's
anything
that
conjured
up
in
your
minds
that
we
need
to
address
further,
such
as
the
the
wraparound
social
services
and
so
forth.
This
is
the
time
to
let
us
know
what
we
need
to
make
sure
is
on
the
next
agenda
or
what
resources
need
to
be
put
in
front
of
you
between
meetings,
so
we
can
make
sure
the
meetings
are
are
constructive.
A
I
also
want
to
let
you
know
that
I'm
going
to
run
these
meetings
very
tight,
we're
going
to
start
on
time
and
end
on
time,
because
again
I
value
your
time
very
much
and
if
we're
ever
going
to
surround,
have
this
committee
fully
outfitted
with
all
the
bodies
that
we
need
who
are
going
to
roll
up
their
sleeves
and
do
the
heavy
lifting
we
can't
hold
them
hostage.
So
sometimes
I
will
be
a
rude
irishman,
but
I'll
try
not
to
be
so
with
that.
A
Does
anybody
want
to
offer
up
any
thoughts
on
today's
meeting
that
they'd
like
to
discuss
a
little
further.
A
Okay,
hearing
none
I've
stunned,
you
all
into
silence,
but
that's
not
bad,
as
I
promised
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting,
I'm
going
to
be
reaching
out
to
each
one
of
you
individually
to
spend
some
time
whether
it's
on
the
phone
or
in
person
to
get
some
more
input
from
you
to
make
sure
that
this
is
a
constructive
body
and
we
we
start
driving
the
mission
to
its
hopefully
ultimate
conclusion
where
we
serve
those
people
who
need
our
services.
A
Okay,
we're
all
good
and
then
moving
on
to
agenda
item
number.
Fourteen
for
members
of
the
public
are
invited
for
final
comments.
No
action
may
be
taken
on
any
managers
during
public
comments
until
the
matter
itself
has
been
included
on
an
agenda
as
an
item
for
possible
action.
Public
comments
will
be
limited
to
three
minutes
per
person.
F
G
B
G
Okay,
thank
you
and
also,
we
are
like,
I
said,
we're
working
with
businesses
and
we
want
to
enhance
the
capacity.
So
I
was
listening
to
everything
that
was
said,
and
so,
if,
if
the
children's
cabinet
could
be
a
part
of
the
solution,
that
would
be
great-
and
I
don't
know
how
but
I'll
get
into
the
email
to
the
website.
So
I
can
email
someone
to
see
if
it
can
be
a
part
of
that,
and
also
I
just
wanted
to
lastly
say
that
I've
been
doing
lots
of
research
in
california,
colorado,
texas.
G
They
have
tool
kits
even
for
businesses,
so
they
can
offer
family
friendly
benefits
and
on-site
child
care
and
in
texas
they're,
even
going
to
have
a
place
best
place
for
working
parents.
National
summit,
where
businesses
are
actually
going
to
come
and
talk
in
this
conference
and
speak
about
how
they're
offering
the
family
family
benefits
and
how
it
benefits
the
their
business
and
their
employees,
and
I
think
that's
it.
Thank
you.
C
F
A
Thank
you
very
much
operator,
so
sheriff
andres
says
that
I
don't
need
a
second
in
a
motion
for
the
next
step,
which
is
hearing
no
further
comments.
I
hereby
move
to
adjourn
this
meeting.
Thank
you
all
for
your
time
today.
Much
appreciated.
