Grant to Help Job Seekers Find the Right Career

As part of the American Rescue Plan, Vegas PBS has received a collective grant of $1,070,000 from Clark County and the City of Las Vegas to bolster Southern Nevada’s workforce by helping students and under/unemployed adults get matched with the right careers and employers. Vegas PBS will achieve this through the Jobtimize platform. 

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 nonprofits and private education partners. 

The project will serve ARPA-qualifying organizations in Clark County, such as nonprofits, trade associations, micro to small businesses and private and charter schools in qualified census tracks in the City of Las Vegas, and throughout the urban and rural communities within the Clark County.
