Virginia Works 2000 presents Pathways to Success

Virginia Works 2000 will present “Pathways to Success”, a ½-hour
television program to acquaint high school and middle school students and their
parents with gateway career opportunities in central Virginia. It is scheduled
to air on local cable channels during Workforce Development Week 2000 (October
23rd-29th). Corporate executives from twelve area
companies will illustrate career opportunities for the 21st Century in
manufacturing, service, health care, IT, and the trades.

Company officials will address basic skill and character requirements and
continuing college or technical education needed for these jobs. Each of these
companies offer training and tuition assistance programs to support the
professional development of their employees. The program also highlights
employees who are taking advantage of those opportunities and learning while
they are earning a salary. The companies and their employees will dispel the
myth that entry-level jobs are dead-end jobs. They will illustrate that many of
the job opportunities available are actually “gateway” jobs that are
the first step to rewarding careers.
