Goochland eyes high school-to-Eli Lilly jobs pipeline

Goochland students could one day graduate from high school and head straight into jobs at Eli Lilly's new $5 billion pharmaceutical plant. Why it matters: As Virginia works to turn billions in pharmaceutical investments into jobs for residents, Goochland wants local students to have a shot at the 650 permanent positions Lilly plans to create. State of play: Goochland County Administrator Jeremy Raley told Axios in a sit-down interview Thursday that officials have discussed creating direct hiring pathways with Lilly and local K-12 partners. Lilly has expressed support for the idea, Raley said, though specific classes and hiring commitments remain unclear. A company spokesperson didn't immediately respond to Axios' request for confirmation, but Lilly has pledged to develop local career pathways with schools. Catch up quick: Lilly broke ground on the Goochland facility last month, where it plans to hire engineers, scientists, operations workers and lab technicians, per a release. It's also separately committed $40 million toward a workforce training initiative, including a Goochland training center planned for 2028 — ahead of the plant's operations beginning in 2030. The intrigue: Raley envisions introducing students to pharmaceutical and advanced manufacturing careers as early as kindergarten. Goochland already has an advanced manufacturing,

Virginia's future college student pool is shrinking

Data: National Center for Education Statistics ; Chart: Erin Davis/Axios Visuals America's future college pipeline is growing in the South , but Virginia is bucking the trend. Why it matters: Colleges in shrinking markets will face a fierce fight for students, while those in growing regions will have to adapt to serve an expanding, more diverse student body. The nation's student pipeline is also becoming less white, more Latino , more first-generation and more cost-conscious . By the numbers: The number of U.S. high school graduates is projected to peak in 2025 and then fall 13% by 2041, per the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE). The decline is especially steep in major college markets: California is projected to lose 29% of its high school graduates, New York 27% and Pennsylvania 17%. The South is projected to grow 3%. Zoom in: Virginia, however, is projected to lose 6% of its high school graduates over that same period. In its most recent enrollment projections , state higher-ed officials noted that Virginia's high school graduate count is projected to decline through 2033, tick back up in 2034, then continue falling. What they're saying: "The schools in the South do tend to

Sheridan fourth graders take in local history

Last week, Sheridan Elementary School fourth graders visited and toured the Boxley Cabin, Sheridan Library, and the Sheridan Historical Society Museum. All three locations offer so much history to the foundation of Sheridan and surrounding areas. Boxley Cabin was built in 1828 by Virginia-born abolitionist George Boxley, who fled Spotsylvania County, Va., after allegedly starting a slave rebellion in the winter of 1816. Boxley escaped jail using a spring saw smuggled by his wife, Hannah. He vanished, heading north. But his life as a fugitive meant that he was chased relentlessly by bounty hunters for 12 years.
