Piedmont Virginia Community College (PVCC) is a two-year higher education facility located near Monticello in Albemarle County. PVCC is one of 23 community colleges in the Virginia Community College System and opened its doors in 1972. Upon receiving an associates degree, many of its students transfer to other colleges and universities throughout the Commonwealth[1]
In 2010, PVCC opened the Stultz Center for Business and Career Development, a facility designed to provide classroom space, specifically for workforce development[2].
Growth
As state cuts to higher education continue, PVCC is now on track to take more of its money in from tuition than state support. President Frank Friedman told his board of directors in September 2010 that the school will receive 54 percent of its budget from students in the current fiscal year. The school has also seen a 6% increase in enrollment to a total of just over 5,600 students[3]
Workforce development
PVCC's Workforce Services Division educates over 3,000 students a year, and places half that number in positions at over 50 employers in the region[4].
