FastForward is your Pipeline for Skilled, Qualified Employees.

FastForward career training is offered at each of Virginia’s Community Colleges, which means there is a fast, low-cost (sometimes, no-cost) option to train workers for your open positions right in your backyard. FastForward operates on a performance-based funding model, which means a student must complete the training and earn their workplace certification in order to receive the full financial assistance available.

Our graduates come out of training with certifications in hand and the soft skills learned from a regimented academic environment to be successful on your site from day one. Once they have completed the short-term training through FastForward, they may be eligible to earn academic credit through Credit for Prior Learning! 

Your business can be engaged as little or as much as you’d like with your local college. If you just want to hear when there’s a new class of graduates looking for work, we’ll keep you posted. But if you want to be more ingrained in our programming and contribute to the success of our program, we can make that happen, too.
