One of the major issues facing Virginia’s transportation construction industry is attracting and developing talent for our workforce. To address our workforce concerns, VTCA created a Workforce Development Taskforce comprised of VTCA members representing different segments of the industry. The taskforce has identified a potential opportunity through Virginia’s public schools system.

Many of the public-school systems in Virginia conduct High-Quality Work-Based Learning (HQWBL) programs that offer high school students’ opportunities to combine on-the-job training with their high school curriculum related to students’ career interests and take place in partnership with local businesses or organizations.
