Community Outreach & Workforce Development

Workforce development is an underlying tenet of VCU Health System’s overall strategic plan. Over the years we’ve implemented many employee initiatives to nurture a workplace of choice and enrich the communities where we live and work. Our efforts to meet the dynamic needs of our workforce and a growing community are fundamental to our organization’s core existence.

Dubbed “The HOPE Initiative: Helping, Opportunities, Potential Enrichment”, our workforce development efforts are a series of short- and long-term solutions to benefit our employees, our families and our communities. Through The HOPE Initiative we’re committed to attracting and retaining a vibrant and contributory workforce by focusing on seven key areas including:

Education
Housing
Career Development
Family/Work Life Balance
Transportation
Compensation
