Charlottesville's Office of Economic Development has released a new Economic Development Strategic Plan, aimed at building a more inclusive and resilient business and entrepreneurial community over the next five years. The plan, developed through extensive research and stakeholder engagement, leverages existing assets to drive economic growth in the city.
The Office of Economic Development also offers the Ready To Work program, providing jobseekers with 20 hours of soft skills training to enhance their employability. Participants receive assistance with career assessment, resume writing, and interview preparation, and are guaranteed an interview with a participating City Employer upon completion of the program. Additionally, the office provides grants to qualifying businesses through the GO Hire program, supporting workforce growth and retraining initiatives.
