“The Great Opportunities in Technology and Engineering Careers (GO TEC Virginia) program will stimulate job growth within the Commonwealth by creating dependable talent pipelines in strategic sectors, fostered through public and private partnerships.” That’s GO TEC’s mission statement, which underscores the fact that the program, at its core, is about economic development, job growth and preparing students for quality local employment opportunities. But, the program is also an effective recruiting tool for new companies. Regional economic developers show the GO TEC program to prospective companies. Sometimes, they visit the GO TEC Training Lab at IALR; in many cases, however, they go to one of the middle schools, allowing prospects to speak with students and see the program in action. “The effectiveness of the GO TEC program – and how it funnels directly into a variety of other strong, proven workforce training programs – is a primary selling point for Southern Virginia.” — Linda Green, Vice President of Economic Development, IALR; Executive Director, Southern Virginia Regional Alliance More about the GO TEC program: https://ow.ly/YJxM50QhV65
