LIFEWORKS

To help achieve Nevada's goal of 55,000 students engaged in work-based learning opportunities by 2020, the Governor's Office of Workforce Innovation, supported with funding from the U.S. Department of Labor and NGA Center for Best Practices, has launched LifeWorksNV.org, a work-based learning hub for in- and out-of-school youth and young adults statewide. Users can find internships, apprenticeships, on-the-job training and career and technical education (CTE) programs, as well as learn about in-demand occupations and skills. To make these opportunities possible, LifeWorks utilizes strategic partnerships between Nevada government agencies, K-12 public education, business and industry leaders, and the Nevada System of Higher Education. It is only through this collaboration that LifeWorks is able to promote relevant and effective career pathways for all Nevada students... LifeWorks aims to close the gap between what students learn in school and what they need for "middle-skills" jobs-..
