Workforce Specialist Job Announcement

Silver State Works now available; this new state program includes the following

employer incentives to help get Nevadans back to work and gain new skills.

Incentive-Based Employment  (IBE)

This component supports employers who hire and retain eligible individuals in full-time employment (30 hours or more per week) by providing a wage and training subsidy based on the total amount of time the qualified individual remains actively employed. Upon completion and satisfaction of certain requirements, the employer may receive a wage retention supplement – on average up to $2,000 – payable in four equal increments of $500 after each 30 days of successful employment, up to 120 days.

Employer Incentive Job Program  (EIJP)

Under this component, employers enter into a contract that establishes the agreed upon wage, number of hours to master the tasks, and the maximum amount of reimbursement based on the wage paid. Employers will be reimbursed up to a maximum of 50 percent of the participant’s initial agreed upon gross wage for the contract period and a maximum of 40 hours per week. Contract length will be based on the time estimated to complete the needed training.

Employer-Based Training  (EBT)

This component allows laid-off workers who qualify for UI benefits to simultaneously receive on-site workplace training and regular UI benefits. This component is also available to other targeted populations. It provides a special training allowance of $200 every two weeks for a maximum of $600. Job seekers would be required to train 24 hours per week up to six weeks while continuing regular work search. There is no cost to the employer.
