This month’s issue of the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce‘s Business Voice features an article about Silver State Works, which provides businesses financial incentives for employing out-of-work Nevadans.
Employer-Based Training
Silver State Works will provide a training allowance to a business providing 24 hours of training a week, for a total of up to six weeks.
