The photos used are generic. Our goal is to convert them to great photos from your operations and add Nevada flavor and realism. What we are looking for is a variety of “Process” shots of parts and products being made. We want to change them often, but your response will determine how often we swap them. Do not share your process secret photos.
Nevada signed a contract to bring the ACT Workkeys testing program to Nevada community colleges and state employment offices. A Workkeys subgroup makes up the National Career Readiness Certificate program (NCRC). They look at workplace reading, math and problem solving skills with a consistent measure so any employer has valid comparison tools to review applicants. See www.act.org/workkeys

Manufacturing is important to the nation. Try to remember the last time you were totally out of all physical contact with all manufactured goods. The US still produces over 20% of the global production of manufactured goods.
