This is the website for the Western Virginia Workforce Investment
Act Area CareerConnect, a one-stop workforce development system.
The Virginia Employment Commission and Local Workforce Investment
Boards have developed CareerConnect as a result of a three-year
grant Virginia received from the U.S. Department of Labor.
CareerConnect is a customer service network designed to assist
workers, students,
individuals seeking employment and employers with an abundance
of educational, employment, and career-related information.
Included are the best and most current resources available
in each of
five major categories. Through this website, one is able to
find valuable information and link to other services of interest
as
follows:
Job Seekers are able to search for jobs,
receive assistance in conducting a job search, locate training
and retraining
opportunities,
or conduct research on local, state, and national labor markets.
Employers are able to access job seeker resumes, information
on public and private placement services, training opportunities
for
current or future employees, labor market information, laws
which effect business and various economic development and tax
incentive
resources.
Training & Education opportunities are available
for review at both the state level and regionally across the
Commonwealth.
Information is also available on financial assistance and pre-paid
tuition opportunities.
Labor Market Information is available for
employers and job seekers wishing to quickly locate the most
recent information available
on local, state, and national economic and employment trends.
Community
Resources have been included to assist job seekers, their families,

Virginia community colleges- Because Virginia community colleges
receive Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act
funds, they are required partners in the design, development
and implementation of a "one-stop" system of employment
and training services. The WDS unit provides support to colleges
in their local efforts and works at the State level to fulfill
VCCS responsibility.
