			<h1>Advancing Feasible Adaptation Solutions</h1>		
			<h2>Upgrading Virginia's Water Adaptation Workforce</h2>		
		<p>Addressing property adaptation from a holistic, systems outlook requires collaborative skills and competencies to integrate diverse knowledge and perspectives into novel, innovative outcomes. Collectively, Virginia’s community college system, universities, and professional certification programs provide outstanding discipline-specific or skill-focused education. However, collaborative teamwork skills are less prevalent; e.g., architectural and engineering firms have partnered with VASG to co-sponsor workforce development initiatives in part to advance student’s teamwork, collaboration, and knowledge integration skills. Coupled with entrepreneurship, design thinking, and other creativity- and innovation-deriving curriculum, Virginia could have the best trained workforce for the emerging water adaptation economy. </p><ul><li><strong>Develop community college apprenticeship programs and degrees to support technician-level training and partnerships with new and emerging adaptation businesses. (RCC and VA Community College System)</strong></li><li><strong>Support university undergraduate and graduate work on adaptation R&amp;D, including entrepreneurship training to accompany technical expertise and collaborative research with industry partners. Product performance validation, and co-production of new knowledge (VASG’s partner academic institutions and partner institutions’ entrepreneurship programs)</strong></li><li><strong>Support NGOs conducting certification training, e.g., landscapers.</strong></li></ul>
