Skills for Success

As a division of the Alabama Community College System, the ACCS Innovation Center is committed to helping individuals and improving Alabama’s economic strength through accessible and innovative training programs. These programs are designed to address the skills gap and prepare Alabamians for a variety of in-demand careers. The courses offered through Skills for Success are tailored specifically for Alabamians, with the goal of providing quick, industry-recognized training in high-demand career fields. By doing so, the program aims to create a skilled workforce that will benefit the state’s economy.

The training is offered at no cost, thanks to legislative appropriations that allow for the development and deployment of training statewide. A unique feature of Skills for Success training is how quickly it can be completed. Part of the training is offered online, with self-paced interactive learning. Upon completing the online portion of the course, students then complete hands-on training with qualified instructors at any of the 24 community colleges around the state. The in-person labs simulate real work experience and test students for mastery of skills.

The Center for Workforce Education at Jefferson State works directly with high schools and non-profits. There are also some opportunities for individual community students to take advantage of this program in fields such as Truck Driving to obtain a CDL (Commercial Drivers License).
