🧵 1/5
Today the Virginia legislative budget committees held a public hearing regarding @GovernorVA’s proposed 2022-2024 biennial state budget. Check out what GO Virginia grant recipient Thomas Midgette, Program Director for @CentralVafame at @RBCStatesmen had to say ⏬
2/5 FAME is an industry-driven, collaborative work-study program with a focus on of talent development and job retention. The Central VA FAME chapter, the first chapter in the state, was established in spring of 2021 with generous contributions including a GO Virginia grant.
3/5 “This program would not have been possible without the assistance of GO Virginia, I hope that funding is available for years to come for GO Virginia to assist similar programs that advance young people’s lives for the better.”
4/5 It is our goal to ensure funding remains readily available for more projects like @CentralVafame. 💙 if you support more GO Virginia funding to improve economic and workforce development across the Commonwealth.
