Good for Business
At Brightpoint, we focus on student success and equip our graduates with workforce-ready skills. To do that, we partner with a variety of companies, from Fortune 500s to small business innovators.
Our collaborations range from customizable courses that broaden employee skill sets to industry advisory committees that ensure our academic and workforce programs deliver the quality employees you need. Recent examples have included partnering with HCA Virginia Health System to develop a new radiologic technology program and working with local manufacturers to help their employees obtain specific in-demand industry credentials.
All of Brightpoint’s programs are designed to teach students marketable skills you value. Let’s build the workforce of today and tomorrow, together.
“One of the coolest things at the college is that we get access to the latest and greatest technology. Companies like Altria are major contributors in helping get new equipment. They send some of their employees to the program as well, so it’s in their best interest to make sure that their employees have the best tools to work with.”
