“Thanks to our new partnership with Ancora Training, CCWA is able to realize a long-held goal of offering CDL training in the Reynolds Community College service region. CCWA has been highly successful in delivering CDL training on Brightpoint’s campus, but we have long known we needed to make such training as accessible to City of Richmond, Henrico, and Hanover residents as our training at Brightpoint is to those from Chesterfield County or the Tri-Cities. We are thrilled to now have a way to offer this training, which has been so successful in moving well-paying jobs with benefits, at a convenient site on the GRTC bus line,” said Elizabeth Creamer, Vice President, Workforce Development, CCWA.
