Description
Southern Virginia Higher Education Center; duties and membership. Requires the Southern Virginia Higher Education Center (the Center) to encourage and coordinate the development and delivery of workforce training with a focus on regional and statewide critical shortage areas as well as the needs of industry. The bill replaces the superintendent of the Halifax County Public Schools as an ex officio member of the board of trustees of the Center with a superintendent of a public school division located in the Southside region appointed by the Governor. The bill also broadens the eligibility requirements to serve as one of the representatives of business and industry on the board of trustees. The bill also requires the board to collaborate with local comprehensive community colleges to meet specialized noncredit workforce training needs identified by industry. However if the local comprehensive community college is unable to meet such needs, then the board is authorized to collaborate with other educational providers or offer Center-delivered specialized noncredit workforce training.
