College of Southern Nevada Links Learners to Livelihood Programs

-

LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) — With Nevada still leading the country in unemployment rates, educators from the College of Southern Nevada are working to educate residents about various workforce programs designed to enable individuals to secure stable wages along with opportunities for advancement in their careers.

FOX5 reached out to representatives from the Adult Career Education Services along with the Division of Workforce and Economic Development Programs.

Many workforce education and training initiatives span from eight to sixteen weeks, and authorities assist participants in securing federal and private financial aid for tuition fees. Based on individual eligibility, these educational opportunities may either be complimentary or available at a significantly discounted price.

They include Manufacturing Technician , a Dialysis Technician , Advanced Manufacturing (machine operations) and IT and digital skills. The starting pay for a dialysis technician is around $17 per hour, whereas employees in manufacturing can earn up to $21 hourly.

The programs are meant to assist workers who may only be making minimum wage, are underemployed, or unemployed--and quickly need a job. The fields have a shortage of workers and are constantly hiring.

"[Students] visit us, where they meet with one of our advisors and guides. During these meetings, they discuss some of their obstacles and difficulties, and we help them with financing their tuition," explained Gladis Barrios, who manages the Adult Career Education Services program.

"We observe that students' self-assurance grows. Not only do we notice their professional and academic development, but they also acquire the necessary skills to become attractive candidates in the job market, along with certifications that demonstrate to potential employers that they possess these skills," Barrios stated.

Once students finish a program and secure employment, CSN motivates them to pursue further education for enhancing their career prospects.

Didn't you catch wind of it? For only $105,000, you can purchase citizenship to a tropical island paradise these days. The island country of Nauru located in the Pacific is offering passports to foreign nationals for $105,000 (£81,000) as part of an effort to generate funding for its climate emergency reserve. Soaring sea levels are swiftly eroding Nauru’s coastlines. In reaction, the nation’s leadership is considering a large-scale move inland; however, they are facing difficulties in securing funding for this initiative. Approximately ninety percent of the island's inhabitants will likely have to relocate to elevated areas due to sea levels surrounding Nauru increasing at a rate one point five times quicker than the worldwide average. Many nations provide citizenship in return for significant financial investments or property purchases. However, certain options may stand out specifically to wealthy Britons looking for opportunities. In fact, several stunning t...

Australian Grand Prix Fences Go Black for Clever Reason

The 2025 Australian Grand Prix introduces several modifications to the circuit, primarily focusing on Turn 6 where Mercedes' George Russell had a crash in the previous year. However, the track authorities have implemented an additional alteration. The fencing along the Melbourne street race course has been painted black, particularly in the region of the starting grid. This minor alteration significantly enhances visibility for both spectators with tickets and photographers, despite its subtle nature. The cause stems from how light reflects off the metal. Black paint helps with this by absorbing the light, thus making it simpler to maintain visibility. Formula One tracks have consistently needed to address the visibility and safety of spectators holding tickets. Essential safety features include barrier walls and catch fencing, which protect not only the audience but also racers themselves. Take, for instance, Zhou Guanyu’s accident at Silverstone in 2023; without the p...
