other partner agency services, and more. There are forty-five (45) EmployNV Career Centers/hubs locations operational in Nevada. The Division refers participants to EmployNV Career Centers/hubs for a variety of services based on the individual’s needs. The Division has staff located in an EmployNV Career Center/Hub and affiliated library sites in Las Vegas and the EmployNV Career Center/Hub in Reno.

Describe the extent to which the State agency is carrying out SNAP E&T programs in coordination with title I programs under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). In Nevada, the SNAP program is part of the combined WIOA State Plan. The Division participates on multiple State Workforce Development Board subcommittees or state plan work groups including Barriers and Underserved Populations Subcommittee, Strategic Planning Subcommittee , Employer Engagement and Economic Development subcommittee, Executive Committee, and Childcare Subcommittee which meet on a regular basis. Participation in these groups allowed SNAPET to synchronize efforts through workforce partnerships and be incorporated into the WIOA State Plan to promote cross program coordination. The Division through Workforce Development manager coordinates efforts with the State Workforce Board to provide effective workforce programming with collaboration amongst partners. Through this collaboration and as an active member of the State Workforce Board our Division determined the continued focus on education and meeting the Governor’s workforce priorities, would maintain the alignment of our programs with other workforce programs within Nevada. Through the collaboration of the State Workforce partners and board, the in-demand careers of the various geographical areas of the state are determined and the educational institutions within the Nevada system of Higher Education (NSHE) develops curriculum to provide training opportunities for individuals to meet the demands of area employers. The Division has designed a SNAPET program that will focus on education partnerships with NSHE institutions to allow SNAP participants an opportunity to gain training for in-demand careers in their area. We also included a job search training program that could be used in conjunction with the educational component or separately for those who are ready to find careers. The involvement in the State Workforce Board has provided us valuable connections within the Nevada System of Higher-Education and the local workforce boards which will continue to allow our program to expand the into other areas of the State and provide services to assist our customers. The Division has staff located in an EmployNV Career Center/Hub and affiliated library sites in Las Vegas and the EmployNV Career Center/Hub in Reno. Our Belrose District Office is an affiliated EmployNV Career Center/Hub in Las Vegas. The co-location of EmployNV Career Center/Hubs and DSS staff at EmployNV Career Center/Hub locations provide our SNAPET participants with the ability to have a soft hand off to partners, availability of additional resources such as computer labs, and valuable relationships which are used to promote our participants.
