We are especially interested in providing opportunities for state and local leaders to learn more about the “Going Deep Strategy” that has been implemented in North Las Vegas to:
·Serve a significant percentage of high school students in a concentrated geographic area with the JAG Model;
·Implement a Youth Employment Plan to cost-effectively boost employment rates of youth, in general, and at-risk and disadvantaged youth, in particular;
·Take advantage of economic development based funding to establish vocational training facilities in manufacturing in partnership with the Clark County School District that benefits North Las Vegas residents including the long-term pipeline for career-bound youth; and,
·Achieve JAG Model standards in North Las Vegas by taking advantage of the public and private partnerships and other initiatives of the Going Deep Strategy.
Hold the dates:
·Pre-NTS: July 10-12, 2017
