The Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation is creating more opportunities for underrepresented workers through a $500,000 subgrant to UNLV to fund the Leaderverse Initiative. This funding was made available by the Department of Labor under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act and is distributed to the Leaderverse Initiative through the UNLV Office of Sponsored Programs. The initiative promotes diversity and inclusion in the hospitality, gaming and tourism industries at the K-12, university, and industry levels.
