T
he past year has been both a busy and productive time for workforce development initiatives in the Greater Peninsula region. This annual report highlights
many of those activities and accomplishments that are helping to increase the
quality and quantity of our region’s skilled workforce.
The Peninsula Council for Workforce Development’s
No. 1 mission is to identify the workforce development needs of Peninsula-based employers in Hampton, Newport News, Poquoson and
Williamsburg, and the counties of York, Gloucester and James City.
Once determined, the Council sets its sights on implementing regional
solutions through partnerships with training and education providers
that specifically address these needs.
As a 501(c)(6) nonprofit regional organization, the Council is governed by a 17-member executive committee of nine representatives from the private business
community, seven local elected officials (one from each jurisdiction) and the president of
Thomas Nelson Community College.
In addition to its role as a regional “business-driven” workforce development system,
the Council also serves as administrative staff to the Greater Peninsula Workforce Investment Board (GPWIB). Like the Council, the GPWIB helps to identify solutions for the
region’s current and future workforce needs. Adhering to Workforce Investment Act’s (WIA)
guidelines, the GPWIB doesn’t operate the various programs. Instead, it focuses on strategic
planning to improve coordination and leverage the impact of WIA-funded workforce development dollars.
Last year, the Council and GPWIB merged their
governing bodies into one cohesive executive committee. This year, we will continue the streamlining
process as we consolidate the staffs of the Council
and the Greater Peninsula Workforce Development Consortium. The Consortium serves as the
grant recipient for all WIA funds allocated to the
Greater Peninsula region. When completed, this
consolidation will result in a significant increase in
system-wide efficiencies. It also will make additional
resources available to expand and increase the impact
of our workforce development initiatives.
I want to extend particular thanks to those individuals and employers involved in the
projects mentioned in this report, for without your effort and support the progress achieved
during the past 12 months would be impossible. Finally, I encourage all of you to get involved
and help transition more wonderful concepts and ideas into reality.
— Dr. Robert P. Leber, chair, PCFWD and GPWIB
Turning opportunities
Web site is up and running
of the cafés are also Newport News
Public Schools and Hampton Public
Schools, which have each donated
computers and supplies to the cafés
and support a full-time staff member.
Hampton Public Schools has been
especially helpful in promoting the
Youth Career Café’s services to students citywide.
I
n September, the Council officially launched its Web site at www.
pcfwd.org. A much-needed communication tool, the site is designed
to encourage employers, educators
and jobseekers to use it to connect
to and access resources provided by a
variety of strategic partners.
An events calendar lists workshops, job fairs, training sessions and
more that can help individuals better
themselves professionally. There are
also links to connect businesses that
want to get more involved with the
overall workforce picture. They can
sign up online to become a Council
member and check out who’s already
on board.
The BizEd Partnership section,
created to help businesses and other
interested groups interact with area
schools, is a result of a Virginia
Peninsula Chamber of Commercesponsored summit held last fall. It
was developed by Newport News
Public Schools and PCFWD to provide a positive outlet for businesses
and employees who want to give
back to the community.
$5 million grant will
create pipeline for highgrowth, high-wage jobs
Two Youth Career Cafés double opportunities
T
he Youth Career Café came
into its own this year, following
its successful launch in May
2006 at the former Coliseum Mall in
Hampton. In February, the Hampton facility relocated to NetCenter,
formerly New Market Fair Mall.
A second café opened its doors
for business in June 2007 at Patrick
Henry Mall in Newport News, expanding the program’s efforts of offering
its services to Peninsula youth ages 14
to 21. The cafés are fashioned to link
business, education and community
to help youth explore job options,
learn about career opportunities and
acquire workforce readiness skills.
The success of the two Peninsula
locations has gotten more than a nod
from Gov. Tim Kaine. PCFWD received $100,000 from the governor’s
WIA Discretionary Fund to expand
cafés on the Peninsula and develop
a business model for other Virginia
localities to use to create their own.
This past year, 1,765 students were
served at the two cafés, which offered
help for everything from filling out
financial aid forms and scholarship
applications to learning about proper
business attire and finding a job. A
total of 198 hours of tutoring were
offered and 80 youth were successfully
placed at a job or educational facility.
Area companies have stepped up
to the plate to assist young people at
both locations, donating materials
and logging well more than 100
volunteer hours to help prepare
the emerging workforce. Companies that have been particularly
active include Northrop Grumman
Apprenticeship School, Ferguson
Enterprises, Branscome Inc., Advex
Corp., Teledyne Corp., Howmet
Castings, Riverside Regional Medical Center, Thomas Nelson Community College, 1st Advantage Federal
Credit Union, ECPI, Chick-fil-A,
Piccadilly Cafeteria, Busch Gardens
and Holiday Inn.
An integral part of the success
P
rogram year 2006 ended with
a bang this June when the U.S.
Department of Labor awarded
Virginia a three-year, $5 million grant
to help reposition the economy of
southeastern Virginia by preparing
workers for new, high-wage jobs in the
port, transportation, and modeling
and simulation industries.
The Workforce Innovations in
Regional Economic Development
(WIRED) grant will help fund the
Southeastern Virginia Partnership for
Regional Transformation (SEVAPORT), comprising 24 cities and
counties extending from Hampton
Roads to the Petersburg area. SEVAPORT works to develop worker
training opportunities for those
people impacted by recent military
realignments, as well as job cuts in the
automotive industry.
The partnership — led by
PCFWD, Opportunity Inc. and the
Crater Regional Workforce Investment
Board — will link public schools, twoand four-year colleges and universities,
existing businesses, and the economic
development community. Its aim
is to prepare BRAC-affected and
displaced Ford workers for jobs in
ports, transportation, distribution,
warehousing, and modeling and
simulation.
Workforce d
into accomplishments
Peninsula Worklink
restructures to meet
challenges
2
006 was a year of change and
restructuring for Peninsula
Worklink, the Peninsula’s
regional system of One-Stop career
centers. The award-winning system
expanded its services to become
more employer and business focused
by developing training initiatives for
incumbent employees of partnering
agencies. These pilot programs will
be expanded in 2007 and offered to
a wide range of local businesses and
non-profit agencies.
Peninsula Worklink has been
restructured to provide a business
services section that emphasizes
business development, job placement and customized business
services.
Many of these changes were
initiated in summer 2006, when
NEXStep funds were depleted
and the highly successful military
spouses’ employment program
ended. Subsequently, Peninsula
Worklink closed its offices at four
military installations and reduced
coverage at two other locations. Its
budget and full-time staff were
reduced by about a third. Despite
these adjustments, Peninsula
Worklink continued to provide
employment services to more than
20,000 customers in Hampton,
Williamsburg and Newport News.
In particular, 265 people
received intensive support including
individual attention and counseling.
Nearly 50 percent of these received
training vouchers of up to $4,000
to help them secure training and
employment in the new high-skilled,
high-technology workforce. In all,
nearly $500,000 was provided to
help people seek training and build
their skills during PY 2006.
A new in-house training program
was designed to help job seekers
hone personal and employment
skills. The Workforce Interpersonal
Skills Certification (WISC) involves
three full days of training on topics
ranging from interviewing skills
and teamwork in the workplace to
resume writing and overcoming
barriers to employment. Nearly 110
people completed WISC training
and 91 percent of those seeking immediate employment were successful
within a month. This program is
now required for all registered WIA
customers in 2007.
In addition to WISC, Peninsula
Worklink formed a Job Club that
meets once a month to keep job
seekers motivated and apprised of
the latest job openings in the local
community. Area businesses provide
guest speakers at each meeting
during the year.
The Greater Peninsula Workforce Development Consortium
provides fiscal and performance
oversight of the Peninsula Worklink system. The Consortium staff
also provides Worklink staff with
management information system
support and related technical
assistance.
Academies strengthen
the industries
I
ndustry partners within the construction and financial clusters
were busy this year bolstering
their respective academies.
The Peninsula Construction
Academy was formed to increase
competition for the construction
industry while enhancing
recruitment, development and
retention for area businesses. The
program offers entry-level handson training for high school juniors
and seniors, as well as advancement
programs for construction company
managers at all levels. It was made
possible through a partnership
between the Council, New Horizons
Regional Education Center, Thomas
Nelson Community College and
construction industry partners.
The Financial Services Academy,
a six-week program for juniors and
seniors at Menchville High School,
wrapped up its third successful
session this past spring. Offered
as part of the school’s Virtual
Enterprise class, it covers money and
banking, customer service, written
and oral communications, sales,
financial service ethics and laws.
Volunteer instructors from
1st Advantage Federal Credit
Union, Langley Federal Credit
Union, Old Point National
Bank and the Virginia Educators
Credit Union joined forces with
Council personnel to teach the
various sessions. After the students
completed the program, they were
interviewed by banking professionals
and some even landed a job.

Accomplishments accrue,
thanks to successful partnerships
“
As we move forward and
build on the successes and
accomplishments of 20062007, we will persevere to
keep the momentum strong
in the coming year. We’ve
come a long way to promote
workforce development as
a combined system on the
Peninsula. As we realign
and consolidate the expertise
of the PCFWD and
GPWDC, we will continue
to be a model for the region,

t was a very productive year for the Peninsula Council for Workforce Development and
the Greater Peninsula Workforce Investment Board. Collectively, they helped to promote
programs and initiatives that substantially increased the quality and quantity of the region’s
skilled workforce by bringing together business, government, education and labor through a
variety of successful partnerships:
The Youth Career Café in Hampton transitioned from the Coliseum Mall to NetCenter, and a
second Youth Career Café opened at Patrick Henry Mall in Newport News.
The Council received a $100,000 grant from the Governor’s WIA Discretionary Fund to expand
the popular cafés and develop a business model for other Virginia localities.
The Virginia Peninsula Chamber of Commerce and Newport News Public Schools partnered
with PCFWD on the Business & Education Partnership Summit. The outcome included a new
pilot program to enhance resource-sharing between Newport News Public Schools and the business community via links on the www.pcfwd.org Web site.
PCFWD and GPWIB served as one of the leads in developing the Workforce Innovation in
Regional Economic Development (WIRED) proposal, a $5 million regional grant project that
comprises three workforce investment areas and has more than 65 partners.
Greater Peninsula Workforce Development Consortium partnered with the Small Business Development Center on the “Peninsula FORT Report,” a survey of the Peninsula small business communities that assesses the impact of the closing of Fort Monroe and the realignment of Fort Eustis.
Peninsula Worklink, the Peninsula’s regional system of One-Stop career centers, initiated the
Workforce Interpersonal Skills Certification (WISC), an in-house training program that enrolled
more than 100 people, 91 percent of whom found a job within one month of completing the
program. To further assist job seekers, a Job Club also was formed that meets once a month.
Several cash grants were awarded:
- $5,000 from Hampton Youth Coalition to develop a “youth-orientated” employmentopportunity Web site.
- $5,000 from Howmet Castings, a subsidiary of Alcoa in Hampton, to promote
manufacturing-focused efforts at the Youth Career Cafés.
- $25,000 from Northrop Grumman Newport News to support the Youth Career Cafés.
- $1,000 from Wal-Mart.
- $5,000 from the Virginia Career Education Foundation.
Cluster activities included:
- The “Peninsula Construction Academy” program was launched, thanks to a partnership
between New Horizon Regional Education Center, Thomas Nelson Community College and
construction industry partners.
- More than 300 people attended four customer service training workshops sponsored by the
hospitality cluster and held in fall 2006 and spring 2007.
- The third successful session of the Financial Services Academy, a six-week program for junior
and seniors at Menchville High School, was coordinated by financial cluster volunteers and
supported by 1st Advantage Federal Credit Union, Langley Federal Credit Union, Old Point
National Bank and the Virginia Educators Credit Union.
- A manufacturing industry forum/breakfast, sponsored by PCFWD and Southeast Virginia
Advanced Manufacturing Pipeline, was attended by 30-plus manufacturers.
Milestones 2006-2007
Program Year 2006:
Federally
funded
programs
in review
T
he local elected officials representing the seven localities that comprise
the Greater Peninsula Workforce Development Consortium serve as
the Greater Peninsula Workforce Investment Board’s grant recipient to
disburse federal funds allocated to support this region’s workforce service
delivery system. Given this responsibility, they share a particular interest
with the Board in assessing the results achieved by local programs supported with these
federal funds.
During Program Year 2006, the Consortium — through contracts with local service
providers — oversaw the expenditure of more than $2.3 million in federal funds. The
source of these revenues included:
• Workforce Investment Act funds, used to support the
region’s One-Stop system (Peninsula Worklink) and in/outof-school youth programs;
• A National Emergency Grant (NEG) to provide One-Stop
services to dislocated military spouses;
• A second NEG to carry out planning activities in response
to military troop realignments and a base closure;
• And an H-1B Technical Skills Training Grant to support the
Southeastern Virginia Advanced Manufacturing Program (SEVAMP).
PY ’06 WIA preliminary actual performance data was recently published by the
state. These measures apply to those programs supported with WIA funds, which locally include One-Stop services provided by Thomas Nelson Community College and
youth services provided by New Horizons Regional Education Center and the Hampton and Newport News Public School divisions. According to the data, these programs
exceeded targeted performance levels for all 17 measures. This represents an improvement over PY ’05 performance where local programs met one and exceeded 16 of the
measures.
PY ’06 was the close-out year of the NEG providing One-Stop services to dislocated
military spouses through a program called NEXStep. During this final year, emphasis
was placed on helping individuals previously enrolled in training to complete their
instruction and obtain employment. By the end of PY ’06, the program had served over
the past five years 799 participants, achieving an 81 percent credential rate, a 59 percent
employment rate, a 92 percent employment retention rate, a $12.43 average wage rate
and a 118 percent earnings replacement rate.
The purpose of the second NEG was to determine the economic and workforce impacts that would result from the closure of Ft. Monroe and troop realignments planned
at Ft. Eustis. With these funds, the Consortium and Board were able to partner with
the Hampton Roads Planning District Commission (HRPDC) and the Hampton
Roads Small Business Development Center (HRSBDC) to produce two new reports.
The HRPDC report assessed the impact of the anticipated military base adjustments on the Peninsula’s economy, while the HRSBDC report surveyed the needs of
the small business communities likely to be impacted by these changes. It is anticipated
that both of these reports will be very useful in preparing to meet the challenges these
changes will bring.
Finally, the end of PY ’06 saw SEVAMP continue to make significant progress in
helping the area’s manufacturers find the skilled workforce they require. During the last
quarter of the year, the program facilitated 422 placements in 12 companies — bringing
the cumulative placement total to 2,661 individuals. Likewise, the program was successful in establishing working relationships with 50 different companies on the Peninsula.
