We pre-recorded today's conversation with Bonnie Zampino, Workforce Services Director (Northern Region) for Virginia Career Works; Scott Carlson, Employer Network Director/Registered Apprenticeship Coordinator for Virginia Career Works; Coressa Hubbard, Life and Career Coach for Virginia Career Works; Lyle Schiavone from Outlier; and Larry Baker from LFCC Workforce Solutions.

The group explained how their new Building Maintenance Technician Program came to fruition, how it works, and who should apply. There are limited slots available for this initial program though another program will be offered, likely in the fall. This program may also be expanded for other industries.

The Building Maintenance Technician program is ideal for curious and creative young adults who enjoy solving problems and have excellent attention to detail. Candidates will be selected based on WIOA requirements. By the end of this 6 weeks program, the selected individuals will leave with:

• OSHA 10 Certification;
• hands-on knowledge of the job;
• guaranteed interview with local companies; and
• opportunities for further training and advancement.
