Virginia Workforce Recovery is a collaborative research project that aims to improve the Virginia Community College System’s pandemic workforce recovery initiative, titled “Get A Skill, Get A Job, Get Ahead (G3).” G3’s last-dollar scholarships support students in high-demand occupational programs across healthcare, IT and computer science, manufacturing, early childhood education and public safety. The project is a partnership between CCRC, VCCS, and researchers at the University of Pennsylvania. 

Impacted Communities: Students in the Virginia Community College System will be unable to benefit from findings about the efficacy of the state’s pandemic workforce recovery program. And students in other states and systems will also lose out on potential improvements to workforce scholarship programs.
