It Starts with a Living Wage
Our career planners will work with you to identify living wage standards for your life situation. We will then work with you to identify careers that support a living wage. We will emphasize the use of the H3 website (http://H3.ne.gov) to help you identify, acquire skills, and enter high wage, high-skill, and high-demand (H3) careers in Nebraska. All program activities will be centered on the achievement of this primary goal.
