Hanover County Economic Development is offering scholarships to Hanover-based businesses interested in attending the Virginia Tech Richmond Center’s Strategic Planning for Your People Virtual Workshops Series.  The Virginia Tech Richmond Center, which aims to connect resources of Virginia Tech with the Richmond region through valuable educational opportunities, is launching the three-part virtual workshop series on the life cycle of an employee. The workshop will focus on building the right team, growing and developing existing employees, as well as business succession planning for the future.  Each of the three workshops costs $99 per topic and can be taken individually or as a series.

Hanover County Economic Development is providing scholarships to a maximum of 15 businesses in Hanover County that are interested in attending the workshop(s).  Scholarships will cover $75 of the entire registration, equating to only $24 out-of-pocket to the registrant for one class.  Interested participants must be registered as a business in Hanover County. Scholarships will be awarded on a first come, first served basis to qualified applicants.  Classes are 90-120 minutes in length, and can be taken on select dates either on Tuesdays at 11 a.m. or Thursdays at 6 p.m.
