On May 24th, the Southern Virginia Higher Education Center (SVHEC) held its annual Workforce Training Completion Ceremony. The celebration recognized 75 students who successfully completed a hands-on training program in HVAC, Information Technology, and Welding, and who earned a combined 145 industry recognized credentials.

SVHEC held a rebranding ceremony and cut the ribbon to formally change the name of the Center of Nursing Excellence to the Healthcare Training Hub. The new name reflects SVHEC's expanded focus on a broader range of healthcare professions.
