Principles of ApprenticeVA

Worker Pipeline

Through registered apprenticeships, we are working to build a pipeline of workers to help move Virginia’s manufacturing and information technology industry forward.

Skilled Worker Shortage

There is currently a shortage of skilled Information Technology (IT) and Advanced Manufacturing (AM) workers in Virginia.

Successful Partnership

The partnership colleges of ApprenticeshipVA are providing high-quality pre-apprenticeship courses, customized training and traditional credit courses that will prepare and grow the region’s workforce.

About the Program

A partnership between Danville Community College, Southside Virginia Community College and the Community College Workforce Alliance (CCWA) - the workforce development partnership between John Tyler Community College and Reynolds Community College.
$2.9 million of funding from the US Department of Labor

Through ApprenticeVA, the CCWA and partner colleges are providing high-quality pre-apprenticeship courses, customized training and traditional credit courses for use as part of registered apprenticeship programs that will train and grow the region’s workforce.

ApprenticeVA provides many benefits for our region’s manufacturing employers and employees. Through our strong relationships with top manufacturing employers and the Virginia Manufacturers Association, we’ve created an unmatched apprenticeship curriculum. In addition to credit courses and other employer specific material, this curriculum is used to create and implement registered apprenticeship programs, tailored to each partner employer’s workforce needs.
