NevadaNevada may place career coaches in middle and junior high schools

What it does
Nevada’s employment department may place career coaches in middle schools and junior high schools if money is available. Coaches would help students explore careers, build job skills, and learn about high school opportunities.
The Department must work with suitable partners and prioritize schools in high-unemployment ZIP codes when money is available. It may accept donations and grants and pay experts for needed help within available funds.
Argument forStudents could explore careers, learn about job skills and financial literacy, and hear about opportunities to build those skills in high school.
