The Northern Virginia Chamber of Commerce is our Region's largest Chamber and represents the business community in Northern Virginia and Greater Washington. Included among our members are the Region’s largest and most innovative companies, the largest employers, as well as a mix of small and mid-sized companies.

The Northern Virginia Chamber of Commerce is committed to workforce. As part of our 2018 strategic planning process, the Chamber identified workforce as one of our highest priority issues. It is an area in which we can effect positive change on the Region for the benefit of our member companies, as well as the broader community. Employers in our Region consistently cite workforce issues and challenges in hiring and retaining the right employees as the top issue keeping them up at night. 

We believe it is imperative to create a demand-driven, workforce ecosystem that provides direct, streamlined connections to resources for all workforce stakeholders that accelerates the talent development process while driving innovation. Our transformative approach is demand-driven at every stage and addresses challenges made immediate by the global pandemic while remaining sustainable well beyond the economic stabilization and recovery periods.

The Chamber is well-positioned at the nexus of business and workforce development! We are a catalyzing force behind the creation of a new seamless model for identifying and developing skills, meeting industry workforce needs, and creating and joining the workforce of the future. Our approach is different and innovative in that we are starting with the needs of the employers as our focus; we are demand-driven!
