FastForward Career Training
VCCS's FastForward Credentialling programs provide valuable workforce training for high-growth industries. While the Commonwealth increased FastForward Workforce Credential Grant (WCG) funding for fiscal year 2026, the rise in demand continues to outpace available resources.

We encourage early engagement. Students and employers should connect with our Workforce Solutions team to explore funding eligibility, training options, and available program seats.
