Fueling the Future of Southern Nevada’s Economy
In Southern Nevada, small businesses are the backbone of our community. They are the engines of growth and the embodiment of the dream of free enterprise. At Nevada Educational and Training Services, Inc. (NETS), our mission is to ensure that every entrepreneur with a great idea has the best chance to succeed. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that supports entities providing essential training and education for these aspiring business owners.
Our approach is unique and effective. We provide critical financial support to established, front-line organizations that deliver vital economic education and mentorship to local entrepreneurs. We address a key problem in our community: that too many business owners lack the resource knowledge needed to navigate the challenges of the modern marketplace and build a sustainable company. By funding these educational programs, we help increase the number of small businesses that survive beyond five years, creating a stronger, more resilient local economy.
