The Virginia Workforce Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center (VWIEC) at Hampton University is a business incubator and statewide resource designed to support aspiring and current entrepreneurs across Virginia, especially those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Established in 2020 through the U.S. Department of Education’s Reimagine Workforce Preparation Grant, VWIEC provides services at no cost, including mentorship, education, networking, pitch competitions, business planning support, and assistance with financing strategies. Through this program, in 2024 we were also the recipients of a $5,000.00 grant!
