The primary goal of Nevada’s Career Resource Network (NCRN) is to provide accurate and usable information to customers in order for them to make informed choices. Nevada’s primary activity is the annual creation, distribution and support of the Nevada Career Information System, provided free of charge on the Internet to all Nevada residents and entities. |

Key industries include gaming and entertainment, mining and tourism. The gaming industry has been the dominant force in Nevada’s economy for several decades, affecting both the construction and leisure and hospitality sectors. Rural areas are seeing a shortage of workers, including in the expanding mining industry.
The January 2006 unemployment rate was 3.4%, as compared to 4.0% in April 2005.

• NCRN provides CIDS, the Nevada Career Information System (NCIS), free of charge on the Internet to all Nevada residents and entities. “My NCIS� Portfolio allows students and adults to save information of interest from the NCIS, assessment results, personal reflections, career plans, education and work history; and to generate resumes from the information they enter in their personal portfolio. To date, 11,588 individuals have used the portfolio feature.
• NCIS contains information on two- and four-year postsecondary schools nationwide as well as proprietary technical and trade schools within the state. The school sorting module helps students generate a targeted list based on their preferences. In addition, students can generate a school letter or email directly from the NCIS to request application materials or additional information from a school. They can also compare schools side-by-side within the system.
