Modernizing State Hiring in Virginia: A New Model for Skills-Based Talent
July 28 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Join Virginia Works and the Virginia Department of Human Resource Management (DHRM) for a free virtual discussion on how Virginia is transforming state hiring through skills-based workforce strategies.
Over the past two years, Virginia Works and DHRM have partnered to align workforce development expertise with human resources policy to strengthen talent pipelines, modernize candidate screening practices, expand apprenticeships, and connect jobseekers directly to careers in public service.
This innovative approach has resulted in:
- More than 82,000 STARs (Skills Through Alternative Routes) applications
- A 42% increase in apprenticeships
- Nearly $7 million in economic return from apprenticeship expansion
Learn how Virginia is building a stronger, more resilient workforce and what this model can teach workforce, HR, and government leaders across the country.
