About us
Alabama’s community and technical colleges were merged into one system May 3, 1963, when legislators laid the groundwork for a unified system of institutions to focus on accessible training in “arts and sciences and in useful skills and trades” for current and future labor needs. Sixty years have passed, but that important cause remains the singular purpose of the Alabama Community College System (ACCS). With 24 community and technical colleges in more than 130 locations and an economic impact of $6.6 billion, the ACCS is Alabama's gateway to first-class, affordable education and technical training to compete in a constantly evolving workforce. More than 155,000 Alabamians benefit from the various certification, credential, dual enrollment and degree programs the ACCS offers alongside leading industry partners. The System includes the Alabama Technology Network, which provides extensive training and service offerings directly to business and industry, and the ACCS Innovation Center, which provides rapid skills training through its Skills for Success program. The ACCS is governed by the Alabama Community College System Board of Trustees.

Audrey Webb, the Alabama Community College System's Director of Work-Based Learning Programs, was among a group of Alabamians to travel to Zurich, Switzerland, recently to attend the Center on Economics and Management of Education and Training Systems (CEMETS) - the reform lab at the Chair of Education Systems of ETHzurich. The program's focus was on the importance of permeable education systems that have vocational and professional education and training (VPET) programs. The Alabama group was among the presenters, working with individuals at the conference from states like Colorado, Indiana and New York, and from countries, including Costa Rica, South Africa and Uzbekistan. Webb, who is pictured fourth from left, earned an international certificate for this training. The Alabama Office of Apprenticeship, Build UP and the Birmingham Promise were also represented.

Calhoun Community College Dean of Technologies John Holley said the aerospace and welding programs will be housed in the new facility and they will be able to expand their precision machinery program by adding more machine tools like computer numerical control (CNC) lathes and mills. “I see where this (building) will probably serve 500 students,” Holley said. “We’re going with a complete modern welding lab that aligns with nationally recognized industry credentials. We have a new oven going in (the aerospace lab) for our composite training. "It’ll be the nicest training lab you’ll ever see.”
