“Today’s event is the result of tremendous collaboration across agencies and organizations to help some of our bravest neighbors who are looking to start new chapters in their careers. Virginia’s Veteran community is one of our Commonwealth’s greatest assets, and we must make sure we utilize their tremendous expertise and leadership by supporting these men and women in finding high-quality civilian careers. Apprenticeships are an incredible tool to not only achieve that goal but also set up our economy for long-term growth and stability.”
