Barry DuVal discussed trade, workforce, and energy in-studio with Rick and Jane on WINA Charlottesville. Listen to the full interview at http://wina.com/morning-news/barry-duval-2/

DuVal: So we need to advocate for – and we are – changing the formula for paying community colleges. We’re working with the Chancellor and the 23 different presidents on a new program. We’re asking for about $40 million of new money that would go to the community colleges to reward them for training people or providing the kinds of certifications that the job market is demanding.

Again, if you look across the Commonwealth, about 160,000 job openings. Why is that? Because we don’t have the trained workers to fill those jobs. Our community colleges can be a big part of that solution.
