Despite the robust result for FY 2024, expections are that fewer certification opportunities will be available in FY 2025 due to programmatic changes in all Workforce Training programs. The National Career Readiness Certificate is no longer a prerequisite and the grant funding under which was offered expired. The Welding@SVHEC program has moved to American Welding Society curriculum, with fewer certifications available at the lowest levels. |

This measure was added in FY 2015 to reflect the Southern Virginia Higher Education Center’s growing role in providing workforce training programs requested by regional industry. In the last two years, the Center has launched welding and information technology training programs that are short in duration and which lead to assessment-based, industry-recognized credentials. With some grant-funded training programs ending and others in the development stage, the FY 2015 results were slightly lower than the baseline number of credentials awarded for FY 2014. However, enrollments to date in both the legacy and new workforce training programs suggest that the Center’s short- and long-term targets will be met. Note: This is an annual measure; data for fiscal quarters is not available. |
| 2016 |
401 |
In FY 2016, 235 individuals enrolled in Southern Virginia Higher Education Center (SVHEC) programs, including Welding@SVHEC, Industrial Maintenance/Mechatronics, the IT Academy, and the Work Ready Foundations earned a total of 401 credentials. Enrollments to date in both legacy and new workforce training programs suggest that the Center’s short- and long-term targets will be met. Note: This is an annual measure; data for fiscal quarters is not available. |
| 2017 |
285 |
In FY 2017, individuals enrolled SVHEC Workforce Training programs, including Welding@SVHEC, Mechatronics, IT Academy, and Work Ready Foundations earned 285 credentials. This number is down from 401 credentials earned in FY 2016 due mostly to programmatic changes and scheduling changes. This means that some programs underway in FY 2017 will not produce credential earners until early FY 2018. Credentials results in FY 2016 result may have been an anomaly due to introduction of new programs and shorter duration of programs at that point in time. Enrollment in both legacy and new programs continues to be strong. Short- and long-term targets may need to be revised in the new biennium once a trend has been established. This is an annual measure; data for fiscal quarters is not available. |
| 2018 |
416 |
In the past four years, the Southern Virginia Higher Education Center’s (SVHEC) has taken on a greater role in providing workforce training, adding programs not available in the region but identified as needed by industry. These training programs are short in duration (weeks or months rather than years) and prepare participants for assessment-based, industry-recognized credentials. In FY 2018, individuals enrolled SVHEC Workforce Training programs, including Welding@SVHEC, Mechatronics, IT Academy, and Work Ready Foundations earned 416 credentials. This number is up 31 percent and is expected to increase as new adult training programs in Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) and manufacturing production, and with the launch of the new Career Tech Academy programs for high school seniors and juniors in fall 2018. Enrollment in both legacy and new programs continues to be strong. This is an annual measure; data for fiscal quarters is not available. |
| 2019 |
334 |
In FY 2019, individuals enrolled SVHEC Workforce Training programs, including Welding@SVHEC, Mechatronics, IT Academy, and Work Ready Foundations, and non-credit programs offered through the Center of Nursing Excellence (CNE) earned 334 credentials. This number is down 20 percent from the previous fiscal year due mostly to a cyclical re-credentialing issue: one of the CNE's major clients, Sentara Halifax Regional Hospital requires certain employees to maintain current certification in Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) both of which are good for two years. This creates a biennial increase in the SVHEC's credentials which then presents as a decrease in the off years. Increases in credentials earned in the SVHEC's new Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) program and the inaugural Career Tech Academy programs for high school seniors and juniors offset the decrease in CNE credentials this year. Enrollment in both legacy and new programs continues to be strong and credentials are expected to steadily increase, the cyclical issue notwithstanding. This is an annual measure; data for fiscal quarters is not available. |
| 2020 |
256 |
In FY 2020, individuals enrolled SVHEC Workforce Training (WFT) programs, including Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC), IT Academy, Mechatronics, Welding@SVHEC, non-credit programs offered through the Center of Nursing Excellence (CNE), and the dual-enrollment Career Tech Academy were on track to meet or exceed FY 2019 results but fell short due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The SVHEC closed and training was suspended in March, not to resume during the fiscal year. In FY 2020, individuals in SVHEC WFT programs earned 256 industry-recognized credentials, down twenty-five percent from the previous fiscal year. Measures targets for the new biennium will be revised downward based on expectations that adverse impacts of COVID-19 on SVHEC WFT program operations will continue at least through early 2021. Note: This is an annual measure; data for fiscal quarters is not available. |
| 2021 |
307 |
In FY 2021, individuals enrolled SVHEC Workforce Training (WFT) programs, including Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC), IT Academy, Mechatronics, Welding@SVHEC, non-credit programs offered through the Center of Nursing Excellence (CNE), and the dual-enrollment Career Tech Academy surpassed FY 2020 results by 20 percent despite the fact that the SVHEC training continued to experience of COVID-related disruptions in FY 2021. Much of the growth was in the Career Tech Academy Dual Enrollment program in which high school juniors and seniors can earn college credit and industry-recognized certificates while training for jobs in high-demand fields. On a less positive note, partner Sentara Halifax Regional Hospital did not return to the SVHEC for staff re-credentialing in Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS).
The SVHEC develops and offers training programs on its South Boston campus when need for training in high-demand occupations is identified but no existing programs are available to meet that need. SVHEC training programs are short-duration and prepare individuals for assessment-based, industry-recognized credentials.

306 |
In FY 2022, individuals enrolled in SVHEC Workforce Training (WFT) programs, including Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC), IT Academy, Mechatronics, Welding@SVHEC, non-credit programs offered through the Center of Nursing Excellence (CNE), and the dual-enrollment Career Tech Academy earned 306 industry-recognized credentials. While this is down less than one percent versus the previous reporting period, growth in credentials is expected in this coming year with the addition of the Career Tech Academy (CTA) program Automation and Robotics training.
The Southern Virginia Higher Education Center (SVHEC) plays an important role in regional workforce development, connecting individuals and employers with training resources, but the Center’s role has evolved to one of a major training provider. The SVHEC develops and offers workforce training programs on its South Boston campus when need for training in high-demand occupations is identified but no existing programs are available to meet that need. SVHEC training programs are short in duration (weeks or months rather than years) and prepare individuals for assessment-based, industry-recognized credentials.

In FY 2023, individuals enrolled in SVHEC Workforce Training (WFT) programs, including Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC), IT Academy, Mechatronics, Welding@SVHEC, non-credit programs offered through the Center of Nursing Excellence (CNE), and the dual-enrollment Career Tech Academy earned 383 industry-recognized credentials, exceeding the biennium short-term target pf 330. Growth came largely from increased program offerings in the IT Academy and the Career Tech Academy.

| 2024 |
583 |
If FY 2024, students in the SVHEC Workforce training programs (IT Academy, Welding, HVAC, Industrial Maintenance, and customized training) earned 241 industry-recognized certificates. Dual-enrolled students in the SVHEC's Career Tech Academy earned 342 certifications. Much of the increase was attributable to new Career Tech Academy programs and higher enrollments across all programs. Projections are lower for FY 2025 due to programmatic changes, including 1) dropping the National Career Readiness Certificate as a prerequisite for enrollment due to cost and other considerations, and 2) the Welding@ SVHEC shift away from using National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) to American Welding Society curriculum and assessments, which offer fewer certification opportunities at the lower levels than did NCCER. |
