Virginia’s community and technical colleges can
provide the training you need while leveraging
your company’s training dollars to maximize
worker productivity. Whether it’s customized

Ridge Community and Technical College for Procter and Gamble; chemical
and polymer program with WVU at Parkersburg and DuPont; and the
Toyota Manufacturing Program at BridgeValley Community and Technical
College.
