SVHEC ends a year of achievement with notice by two multinational companies: Microsoft and Envisio.

SVHEC’s IT Academy (ITA), ITA Director Kelly Shotwell and ITA completer Darryl Kent are featured in a video by Microsoft highlighting rural innovation. Since opening in 2015, the IT Academy has been recognized as a model for IT workforce training. Microsoft is a vital partner in this effort, providing guidance, resources, and financial support. Together, we’re growing southern Virginia’s IT workforce.

Envisio, a multinational corporation with a renowned platform for strategic planning, execution, and data sharing, has selected the Southern Virginia Higher Education Center (SVHEC) for a client case study and success story. Envisio helps public institutions of all sizes align their strategic priorities, track performance, and communicate results. Since adopting Envisio earlier this year, SVHEC has met or exceeded its quarterly goals, and shares its progress with stakeholders through a public-facing dashboard.
