The Virginia School Board Association (VSBA) awarded Henrico County Public Schools Workforce and Career Development the 2022 VSBA Excellence in Workforce Readiness Award!

The award is given to recognize Virginia School Divisions who have achieved excellence in Workforce Readiness through an innovative program/project within a school community with emphasis on: communication and collaboration with the business community; student engagement with the business community; or student entrepreneurial activities. 

The Department of Workforce & Career Development began a partnership with Henrico County government to develop the County Manager’s Summer Academy for Workforce and Career Development, a summer internship program that placed students in various county workplace environments to develop and practice career-related knowledge based on student interest, developing skillset, and goals.
