Strategic Plan
Momentum 2030 is a framework for continuing the momentum that has made Piedmont Virginia Community College (PVCC) the community’s college. This framework is made possible because of broad engagement from employees, external stakeholders, and the members of the College’s Planning and Budgeting Committee who led this effort. Explore the Strategic Plan here.
The College's goals are strategically linked to the Accelerate Opportunity plan. Accelerate Opportunity is the strategic plan guiding Virginia's community colleges over the next six years. Accelerate Opportunity has this over-arching goal: to award 300,000 cumulative meaningful credentials by 2030 across all regions through accelerated access and success for every student.

Fulfilling Our Promise as the Community's College
Three strategic priorities frame our work: Access, Completion, and Community Impact.
Access: We believe in the transformative power of education. Attainment of degrees, credentials, industry certifications, and upskills must be accessible to learners in the communities with a focus on increasing learner enrollment and retention. Individualswho come to PVCC have access to quality education, credentials of value and a student experience that leads to completion.
Completion: Student success is at the core of our existence as a community college in preparing students for today's jobs and tomorrow's opportunities. All educational and training pathways lead to high-demand jobs in our region. Students will achieve their goals to earn degrees, certificates, and industry credentials that lead to quality jobs or transfer to a four-year college or university.
Community Impact: We are a community of practitioners, striving to create a great place to work, where colleagues lead, thrive, and create positive community change. We foster shared governance, collaboration, excellence and compassion for students and the community. Our work directly impacts the economic and social mobility for our graduates and the communities where they live and work. We strengthen the communities we serve through the success of our students, graduates, and employees.
