The BR&E team visited 14 companies in the month of August, more than half of which are reporting current and future growth, with only one reporting a slight decline due to increased automation in their facility. The team was pleased to learn that more and more employers are registered with TMCC to post open positions and there was also significant growth in the number of job postings and students registered in the program. We also encourage employers to connect with the University of Nevada Career Studio or post positions here. Both institutions offer multiple programs and services for both students and employers and are a great resource to help companies build and hire talent.

Other workforce attraction campaigns are also being planned.
