Industry Sector Partnerships (ISPs)

Our region’s Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) identifies seven industries of focus that will help us continue to diversify and grow our economic base:

1. Healthcare Services
2. General & Advanced Manufacturing
3. Information & Communication Technologies
4. Transportation & Logistics Technologies
5. Clean Technologies
6. Business & Financial Services
7. Creative Industries

Multiple regional stakeholders have partnered to launch employer-focused sector partnerships for each one of these industries. These partners include the Las Vegas Global Economic Alliance, Workforce Connections, Vegas Chamber, Clark County School District, College of Southern Nevada, University of Nevada Las Vegas, Nevada State College, Nevada Department of Employment, Training & Rehabilitation, and others. A nationally recognized model called the Next Generation (Next Gen) Sector Partnerships is being utilized. The model establishes industry-led, community supported partnerships that strengthen regional economies and connect people to jobs.

 

In 2022, all seven partnerships were successfully launched. The first step was to convene employers from each industry to identify their talent needs. The launch groups also included community partners, and skill-acquisition partners from the secondary and post-secondary systems. The employer-led groups worked together over the course of half-a-day to identify common short, mid, and long-term workforce challenges. By the end of the sessions, they had also identified opportunities for collective action. The employers represented organizations of all types and sizes. Working groups were established post- launch, to further refine priorities and action steps
