Virginia’s community colleges, employers, and trade associations are partnering to address the shortage of skilled workers in manufacturing, by making it easier for Virginians to be trained and job ready. As the leading provider of workforce development training, the Commonwealth’s community college system assists manufacturing employers in connecting with the appropriate education and training programs. The system also helps colleges stay connected to employer needs by creating relevant curriculum that lead to in- demand industry certifications and degrees.
