The partnership comes at a perfect time. The national labor market has been highly competitive, with more openings than applicants, especially in technology. Alpha Omega has experienced explosive growth in contract wins and hiring, recently announcing an $86 million cyber contract at the USDA.
“The (program’s) guaranteed interviews will address the need by connecting Alpha Omega with highly trained prospects while giving students a leg-up in job searches,” said Hollie Lee, director of certificate programs at UVA’s School of Continuing and Professional Studies which offers part-time, online programs for adult students.

Alpha Omega’s Gautam Ijoor is a Darden School of Business alum and a generous, 5-year donor to the Marian Chapman Moore Executive Leadership Award.
