Northern Virginia Community College (NOVA) supports HB1461. NOVA and all Virginia community colleges are ready to scale up semiconductor workforce programs, but we need industry partners with local facilities to make these programs viable and relevant. The semiconductor ITC will catalyze such investments that create this virtuous cycle. I urge you to support HB 1461 / SB 786. This legislation will position Virginia to compete for transformative economic investments while ensuring that our community college students have direct access to the career opportunities those investments create.
