A celebration of the new programs and facilities will be marked with a ribbon cutting and open house on September 26, 2024.
Virginia Western Community College is pleased to announce the expansion of its educational offerings at the Greenfield Education & Training Center, a key facility serving the Botetourt region. The 40,000-square-foot center has long been a cornerstone for delivering career training and education to regional employers, employees and citizens. Previously focused on providing career studies certificates in Welding and Commercial Air Conditioning and Refrigeration, the center is now enhancing its offerings with new healthcare programming.
To mark this development, Virginia Western Community College invites the community to an open house event on Thursday, September 26, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. The Greenfield Education & Training Center is located at 57 South Center Drive, Daleville, VA 24083.
The ribbon cutting ceremony will begin at 11:15 a.m., featuring remarks by representatives from the Botetourt Chamber of Commerce and Virginia Western Community College. Following the ceremony, guests are invited to enjoy refreshments and take part in guided tours of the newly added programs. The tours will include a closer look at the Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA), Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), and Phlebotomy programs, alongside the existing Welding program.
Marty Sullivan, Dean of Health Professions at Virginia Western Community College, expressed her enthusiasm about the expansion, stating, “We are pleased to broaden our educational offerings at the Greenfield Education & Training Center. This facility has always been a vital resource for career and technical training, and the addition of healthcare programs will further our commitment to meeting the evolving needs of our community. We look forward to showcasing these new opportunities and continuing to support the workforce development of the region.”
