What is Network2Work? Network2Work, formerly known as the Charlottesville Works Initiative (CWI), is a job network that connects job seekers to the skills and resources they need to become valued employees, and helps employers find the quality employees they need for their companies. Network2Work is a partnership between PVCC and the Charlottesville Regional Chamber of Commerce. Why is Network2Work important? In Charlottesville and Albemarle, 12,024 families, or 19 percent, do not make enough money to pay for the essentials of life—food, shelter, clothing, utilities and the added costs associated with working, such as childcare and transportation. The goal of PVCC’s Network2Work program is to help these families become self-sufficient by identifying jobs within their reach and positioning them to secure and excel in those jobs. What areas are served by this program? PVCC’s program serves the college’s entire service region, which includes the City of Charlottesville and the counties of Albemarle, Buckingham, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa and Nelson.
