In an effort to support Virginians affected economically by COVID-19, Governor Ralph Northam today announced a new CARES Act-funded $30 million initiative. The program, called Re-Employ Virginians, will provide free workforce and certification training for Virginians who are now unemployed and under-employed as a result of COVID-19. Virginia residents receiving unemployment insurance on August 1st or after, or who lost a job or work hours due to the pandemic, may be eligible for free occupational training in health care, trades, manufacturing, and IT career fields.
