Supported Programs and Courses

Focusing on employer demand, Virginia Ready identified three persistently undersupplied industries that need talent: Business/IT, Healthcare, and Skilled Trades.

We focused on occupations with the most need for skilled workers, the skills that can be acquired through short-term programs (2 weeks to 10 months).

Credential training programs are offered online and in person, and vary by education partner.
