Over 40 Organizations in Southern Nevada Have Enrolled in the Program
Since receiving a grant for workforce development through the American Rescue Plan Act, Vegas PBS has established connections and worked with a coalition of public and private partners to implement Nevada Jobtimize for education and employment optimization and career placement. Over 40 organizations serving youth, veterans and other job seekers have enrolled in the program.
Jobtimize is an evidence-based, virtual platform that helps job seekers discover their individual traits and behaviors while employers can use it to find the best candidates for their job openings, careers, apprenticeships, training platforms, credentials and career pathways. Vegas PBS has previously found success with Jobtimize through projects with veterans, the Spring Mountain Youth Camp, and several non-profits and private education partners.
“I have been getting fantastic candidates through the Jobtimize platform,” said Julia Qi, Interim Executive Director of Rooted School Las Vegas. “[It] ultimately saves me a lot of time [when] looking at applications. It’s night and day.”
Both job-seeking individuals and employers interested in learning more about Nevada Jobtimize are encouraged to reach out to the Workforce Training and Economic Development at Vegas PBS by calling 702.799.0031 or emailing nevadajobtimize@vegaspbs.org
