The Workforce Innovations for the New Nevada account was established as a result of the approval of Assembly Bill 1 of the 29th Special Session of the Nevada Legislature. The legislation requires the Governor's Office of Economic Development to engage industry and educational partners to create, customize or expand programs to provide responsive workforce development training opportunities in targeted skill areas needed by companies in the state. The legislation was inspired by the need for workforce training infrastructure and solutions in Nevada's emerging sectors such as advanced manufacturing and technology.
