Sisolak makes Employment, Training and Rehabilitation appointment permanent

Gov. Steve Sisolak on Tuesday made his acting appointment to head DETR permanent.

Elisa Cafferata has been acting head of the Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation since August.

“The services rendered by DETR are now more vital than ever and during her time as acting director, Elisa has proven her commitment to progress,” Sisolak said.

He said that includes addressing the backlog of unemployment claims.

Before DETR, Cafferata was deputy director in the welfare division.
