Building the Future in Fairfax

Whether you’re a company looking to invest in the next generation or a student or parent exploring what’s next, this site connects you to career readiness resources and opportunities across Northern Virginia. The Fairfax County Economic Development Authority (FCEDA) offers programs, tools, and partnerships that help students discover their interests, explore career paths, and take meaningful steps toward the future.

For students and families, that means access to internships, part-time jobs, apprenticeships, mentorships, volunteer opportunities, and hands-on learning experiences that build skills and confidence. For employers, it’s a chance to give back, engage with emerging talent, and build lasting connections in the community.

We’re preparing today’s students for tomorrow and shaping a stronger future for Northern Virginia.
