2025 Review of G3 Alignment to the Virginia Labor Market

Chapter 725 of the 2025 Virginia Acts of Assembly (Item 201) requires the Virginia Office of Education Economics (VOEE) to annually evaluate skills and training needed for Virginians to fill jobs available in certified regional council areas. Based on the evaluation, VOEE is required to “make recommendations to the Governor and General Assembly on what programs should be offered in each region that qualify for financial assistance under the G3 [Get Skilled, Get a Job, Get Ahead] program” that is administered by the Virginia Community College System (VCCS).

The report provides an overview of the methodology used to review programs eligible for G3 funding and recommendations for programs to add, remove, and technically adjust.
