NNDA's Workforce Training Scholarship

NNDA walks-the-talk of economic vitality for the Greater Reno-Tahoe area. For the past two years, one-half of the net proceeds from NNDA’s Tee-Off for Education Golf-A-Thon fundraiser went to establishing a workforce training scholarship fund. This scholarship provides a new resource for the communities’ employees to improve their skills and value in the workforce and includes high school students who take dual credit classes through WNC. NNDA is committed to helping upgrade workforce skills – the number one concern for businesses!
