SB 384 Workforce training at community colleges.

Introduced by: Charles R. Hawkins | 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 workforce training at or below the associate degree level, exclusive of the vocational and technical education programs provided through and administered by the public school system. The Community College System's responsibility will not preclude other agencies from also providing such services as appropriate, but these activities must be coordinated by 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 HB 849.
