Creating Pathways to Professions

The Virginia Talent + Opportunity Partnership - Valley Internship Experience Workgroup (VTOP-VIEW) is made possible by a grant from the State Council for Higher Education (SCHEV) and is part of a state-wide Virginia Talent and Opportunities Pathways initiative to expand paid and credit-bearing student internships and other work-based learning opportunities in collaboration with Virginia employers. V-TOP facilitates the readiness of students, employers and institutions of higher education to participate in internship and work-based learning.

Why this Initiative?

Simply put, the data shows that we are not doing enough to encourage students to live and work in Virginia after they graduate. This is where the V-TOP initiative helps by giving students deep roots in Virginia’s business community prior to graduation.
