The Workforce and Community Development Center provides high quality, cost effective, flexible, comprehensive and responsive programs designed around business, industry and education needs.
Our customized training provides individuals in the Middle Peninsula and Northern Neck with hands-on-skill development that typically leads to a nationally-recognized industry credential for immediate application in the workplace.
We also provide classes and programs to develop individuals for careers and promotions, and assist area businesses, industries and educational institutions in achieving effective solutions through employee development.
Within the Workforce Development Center, the college houses the Office of Career and Transition Services (OCATS), which helps workers and adults with career education and training in order for those that have barriers to employment achieve success in the “real world of work”. Career Coaches are available to guide students into a successful career path - that includes connecting job-seekers to employers and conducting workshops on resume development, interview skill development, and other important workplace readiness skills.
