Career Commons | Hands-On Career Simulation
January 22, 2025
EO's Career Commons is a year-round workforce exploration center, providing K-12 students across Southwest Virginia with hands-on career simulation. Alongside educators on field trips and camps, an estimated 30,000 students visit the center annually. The activities and curriculum align with the Virginia Department of Education’s 17 career clusters and help spur interest in our region's manufacturing and STEM jobs.
This is the first facility of its kind in our region and will become a hallmark of successful rural workforce development.
