Capital Commitment of Virginia is a non-profit organization that was established in 2001 in response to the needs of unemployed individuals in the Hampton Roads Area. Its founders saw a rising future in the telecommunications industry and had faith in the potential capabilities of community's residents to achieve the skills necessary to compete for jobs in that area. As a result, the founders established a comprehensive job training and education program to support neighborhood-based partnerships to train and employ low-income minority group members in high skill, high wage telecommunications trades. 

Capital Commitment's mission is to bring basic telecommunications knowledge and skills to the residents of the Hampton Roads area by establishing and funding training facilities and curricula to teach individuals skills necessary to secure employment and business opportunities in the telecommunications industry resulting from the massive upgrading that is currently underway. 

The purpose of Capital Commitment's job training program is to increase the overall participation, and capacity for participation of community members in this industry. Capital Commitment is focused on building bridges between all segments of the community and the private sector and developing partnerships that present opportunities to the unemployed, at-risk youths, welfare recipients, and single parents through job training and education.
