The Virginia Initiative for Employment not Welfare (VIEW) is designed with emphasis on work first in conjunction with education and training when it may enhance the participant's ability to become self-sufficient.  The program goals are to offer Virginians living in poverty the opportunity to achieve economic independence by removing barriers to work providing positive incentives to work; obtain work skills necessary for self-sufficiency; allow families living in poverty to contribute materially to their own self-sufficiency; to set out the responsibilities of and expectations of public assistance; and to obtain work experience through the VIEW program.
