About Us

Three Colleges, One Mission: to help Hampton Roads build the workforce of the future.

The Community College Workforce Cooperative (CCWC) is Hampton Roads’ leading engine for workforce development — a catalyst to help education and industry solve the region’s toughest workforce development challenges, build wealth, and grow the economy.

Our unique partnership taps the combined strengths of three community colleges—Camp Community College, Virginia Peninsula Community College (formerly Thomas Nelson Community College), and Tidewater Community College—to build innovative training and education programs and give Hampton Roads employers the workforce you need to stay competitive. Whether it’s training current employees for the next challenge or building a completely new workforce, our team of experts is ready to put our experience and skill to work for you.

With 10 college locations covering 4 counties and 11 cities, our workforce partnership meets students and employers wherever they are in the Hampton Roads region.
