HB 849 Workforce training at community colleges.

Introduced by: Alan A. Diamonstein | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY:

Workforce training at community colleges. Modifies the definition of "comprehensive community college" to include the provision of noncredit training and retraining courses and programs of varying lengths to meet the needs of business and industry in the Commonwealth and designates the Virginia Community College System as the state agency with primary responsibility for coordinating workforce training at the postsecondary to the associate degree level, excluding vocational and technical education provided through the public schools. The Community College System's responsibility for coordinating workforce training will not preclude other agencies from also providing such services as appropriate; however, these activities will be coordinated with the community colleges. This measure is a recommendation of the HJR 622 Joint Subcommittee to Study Noncredit Education for Workforce Training in Virginia. This bill is identical to SB 384.
