Educator Workforce Academy
The Educator Workforce Academy is a dynamic two day training program tailored for K12 educators in the Lynchburg Region. By participating in the Academy, educators gain valuable insights into workforce development and the key industries within the region equipping them with the knowledge and tools needed to align their curriculum and programming with the skills and competencies required by today’s employers. Ultimately, the program fosters a stronger connection between industry and education, enhancing the prospects for student success and career readiness in the Lynchburg Region.
We invite businesses to join us on July 16th to connect with educators over breakfast and help kick off the program together, creating early opportunities for meaningful conversation and partnership.
Full agenda coming soon.

Actions Plans
During the Academy, participants will collaborate within their school teams to develop a comprehensive Action Plan. This plan will serve as a strategic guide to identify and address the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) related to their current programming and curriculum. The Action Plan includes outlining specific next steps aimed at strengthening and enhancing educational offerings. Additionally, it will pinpoint areas where the Alliance and its partners can provide valuable resources and support to bridge any identified gaps. This collaborative effort ensures that educators are well-equipped to implement meaningful improvements, ultimately benefiting students in the Lynchburg Region.
Action Plan instructions will be available soon.
