Career Acceleration Program

Localities: City of Lynchburg and the town of Altavista

The Career Acceleration Program builds on a previous GO Virginia planning grant, which helped Beacon of Hope develop a playbook for implementing Future Centers -resource hubs in schools that assist students with college and career preparation -across Region 2. Along with continuing to work with high school students, the project will reconnect with individuals who have paused their educational journeys and engage with two-generation households, where parent and children are prime age workers. The project will also create a long-term career case management system that allows workers to continuously learn and prepare for new job opportunities.
