NOVA’s Loudoun Campus and George Mason University have entered into an exciting new collaboration at Loudoun’s Signal Hill facility, also the home of the Workforce Development Division in Loudoun. The two colleges will be moving in together on the first and second floors of Signal Hill, sharing classrooms and offering joint programming, including Workforce Development Division healthcare programming. GMU is scheduled to move in with NOVA in June. As soon as the agreement was signed by all parties, demolition and reconstruction of the first floor began.
Healthcare is one of the fastest growing career fields in Northern Virginia. The Workforce Development Division is doing its part in training workers to meet this growing demand. The Workforce Development Division on Friday August 17 hosted their first ever Practical Nursing Pinning Ceremony. This intense one year program graduated 15 new nurses, which are all eager to start making a difference in the lives of their patients. The LPN program has received positive reviews from students thanks to the quality instruction and personal attention received from dedicated faculty and staff. The Workforce Development Division is even more excited about the incoming LPN class as it is larger than the previous class.
