Adult Career Training through the Wells Fargo Career Development Program provides educational opportunities to unemployed and underemployed residents who are seeking to improve their earning potential.  Qualified candidates apply to local community colleges, technical and vocational schools to train for employment in fields such as medical billing, welding and nursing.

The Newport News Department of Human Services contracts the Office of Human Affairs to operate the CWEP.
