Education & Training

Vision 2020: The New River Valley provides a cooperative educational system with quality personal, professional, and technical education for all citizens of the region.
The New River Valley's current education and training system is undergoing a transition that lays much of the groundwork for a prepared and productive 21st Century workforce. Primary schools are connecting students to the Internet and beginning to integrate industry input into their curriculum. Secondary institutions provide education in both liberal arts and technical fields. The technical training that NRCC provides is readily accessible to all New River Valley citizens, and provides them with the skills necessary to compete in a global economy. NRCC also has an economic development center and an industrial training program. Virginia Tech is world-renowned for its engineering and architecture programs and has widely recognized graduate and undergraduate degree programs in these and other disciplines. They are also home to the Extension service and Virginia Tech Intellectual Properties. Radford University is known for its nursing and business programs as well as innovative teaching.
