Virginia Western Community College has begun using software from Intelliworks to help the school's Workforce Development office manage its outreach and events. The school, based in the Roanoke Valley, has 12,500 students. The workforce development office, called LearnConnect, offers training services, including customized as well as online training to the regional business community. Current offerings include an environmental technician program, equine studies, and welder training.

"Workforce Development hosts a number of events throughout the year," said Chuck Terrell, VP of the development office. "We chose Intelliworks to help us manage these events because we're impressed with the product and with the level of service we've received."

The department used Orion, Intelliworks' web-based contact management and marketing application, to promote an e-marketing techniques conference for 23 community college members of the Virginia Community College System (VCCS).
