"Nevada is a shining example of workforce development and support," said Senator Rosen. "I am pleased to see that the Department of Labor has chosen to award this grant funding to Nevada in order to bolster our state's Registered Apprenticeship Program. During this difficult time, it is all the more important that we support our state's workforce and expand the potential for career opportunities in the Silver State. I will continue to advocate on behalf of Nevada workers in Congress, and help to ensure that we receive our fair share of federal support."
