Three Hampton Roads community colleges are forming the new Community College Workforce Cooperative to create a one-stop shop for industries seeking large-scale job training in the region.
Tidewater, Thomas Nelson and Paul D. Camp community colleges, which have 10 locations across Eastern Virginia, announced the collaboration Tuesday. The CCWC, led by Executive Director Todd Estes, will coordinate and centralize the colleges’ resources for job training for industries like shipbuilding, ship repair and wind energy that are growing and need qualified employees.
