Programs of Interest

We offer several programs that support people in obtaining meaningful employment.

HOW TO GET STARTED:

To begin the process, complete the Prescreening

You will then be contacted by one of our Navigators about the next step in the process.

The Navigator will review your Prescreening with you, so don’t worry if there are questions you’re not sure how to answer. Leave blank for now.

If you have not heard from anyone in two business days, please call (540) 320-1908.

We look forward to being a part of your career journey.

Soft Skills

Soft Skills make or break the hiring decision. If you can’t communicate, be engaged, participate fully, think critically, or demonstrate leadership, it doesn’t matter how technically qualified you are. This program aims to teach these invaluable skills. 

Supplemental

Do you want a career in the skilled trades, but don’t know where to start? Our pre-apprenticeship skilled trades program may be a great option. You can earn credentials, earn while you earn, and launch into employment right after.

Technical 

The goal of the Technical Skills program is to supply skilled workers to manufacturing businesses and healthcare establishments who need these in-demand jobs filled to sustain operations and potentially grow. We partner with the Center for Manufacturing Excellence (CME), Senior Home Share and Warm Hearth Village to complete training and pathway into employment.
 

Trades Gap

Filling the Trades Gap aims to be responsive to the needs of businesses,
workers, and jobseekers in the New River/Mount Rogers Workforce Development region, focusing on the three skilled trade sectors of Industrial Trades, Construction Trades, and Service Trades. Data provided by Virginia Tech’s Center for Economic and Community Engagement support the need for this project showing that there are over 6,000 annual openings in these three skilled trade areas in the region.
