Appalachia Jobs Explained
PBS Appalachia is proud to partner with American Graduate: Jobs Explained, a national public media initiative supported by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, to launch Appalachia Jobs Explained, a regional project spotlighting career opportunities across Southwest Virginia.
Focusing on in-demand industries like the skilled trades, green energy, and hospitality, this video series is designed to inspire and inform. Whether you're just starting out or exploring a new path, Appalachia Jobs Explained connects you with real stories and real people building meaningful careers right here at home.
Over the next two years, our Social Video Specialist, Kaleigh, will be sharing these stories on Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, meeting young people right where they are. This project is designed to inspire and guide individuals as they explore early career paths, offering an inside look at the jobs that are shaping the future of Southwest Virginia.
Together, we’re shining a light on the opportunities that exist in Southwest Virginia, and helping build a stronger, more connected Appalachian workforce, one story at a time.
