The Alabama Community College System’s Skills for Success program speeds up job placement.
The program provides free job training for numerous industries, including the construction industry, which ACCS Innovation Center Director Julie Frizzell says is struggling.
Job-specific training by AIDT, an independent agency under Alabama’s Secretary of Commerce, promotes economic growth.
Free training is available in several areas to new and expanding businesses around the state.
AIDT was founded to promote a strong state economy by recruiting and educating a qualified workforce to attract new and expand existing companies.
The training has a self-paced online component, according to Frizzell. Students then complete 16 hours of hands-on learning with authorized teachers.
Before ACCS adopted it for all 24 community colleges, Trenholm State Community College piloted the building program.
