Business & Industry Partnerships

Get reliable, credentialed workers through hands-on training programs and employer-designed training.

CCWA partners with employers across Virginia to design hands-on training and consulting solutions that help teams perform, grow, and thrive. Together, we help you build a workforce ready for what’s next.

Why Partner with CCWA

Your Workforce Challenge. Our Solution.

Hiring is hard. Keeping skilled employees is harder. CCWA works directly with Richmond-area employers to close workforce gaps, upskill your current team, and build a pipeline of trained talent on your timeline and aligned to your operational goals.

Built Around Your Business, Not a Standard Curriculum

Forget off-the-shelf training programs. We work with your leadership team to understand exactly where your workforce needs to grow, then build a plan around it. That means:

  • Developing customized training programs specific to your industry
  • Providing support for continuing education programs
  • Building earn-and-learn opportunities such as apprenticeships
  • Creating credential pathways that give your employees a reason to stay and grow

Proven Results, Ready-to-Hire Talent

More than 1,500 graduates have earned industry-recognized credentials through CCWA programs — and many are actively seeking employment in the greater Richmond and Petersburg region. Partnering with CCWA means you're not just training the team you have. You're gaining access to the talent pipeline you need.
