Capital One Partners with JTCC and Chesterfield Schools

Capital One, one of the region’s newest and largest employers, celebrated the grand opening of their Call Center Simulator Computer Lab on April 15, 1999 in the lab’s new location in the Chesterfield Technical Center.

Capital One, John Tyler Community College (JTCC) and Chesterfield County Public Schools have formed an alliance to implement an innovative employment training program: The Call Center Training Alliance. This program will offer call center training and preparation for adults through JTCC and for Chesterfield County high school students enrolled in career development advanced marketing courses.

County high school students enrolled in career development Advanced Marketing courses will participate in a training program that introduces them to call center procedures and processes. Adult students will attend evening classes at JTCC while the high school students will attend the Chesterfield Technical Center. Both JTCC and the high school students will culminate their training at the Chesterfield Technical Center in the call center computer lab sponsored by Capital One.

Dr. Bill Bosher, Superintendent of Chesterfield Public Schools, Dr. Marshall Smith, President of JTCC, and representatives from Capital One made remarks at the grand opening ceremony and spoke about the positive impact that this training alliance will have on Chesterfield County and the region.
