Thank you to Governor Kay Ivey for declaring April as Community College Month! "Whereas, the impact of Alabama's community and technical colleges creates a ripple effect: Strengthening individuals, fortifying families, boosting businesses and enhancing communities in ways that last for generations. Alabama's community and technical colleges live their mission every day to Make Life Better, not for students, but also for the communities they serve." The proclamation was read this morning at the ACCS Board of Trustees meeting held at Jefferson State Community College. #communitycollegemonth #ccmonth #bestdecisionever

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.

Southeastern Regional Director, US Navy Maritime Industrial Base Technical Program Analyst, Serco Building an ecosystem of maritime excellence to support the world’s powerful Navy.
They train giants to BUILD giants! Great morning in Montgomery at the Alabama Community College System, where we discussed maritime training initiatives, the future of the Maritime Industrial Base in Alabama, and the many ways we are partnering with ACCS and the Alabama Technology Network to build an ecosystem of maritime excellence. If you ask anyone in Alabama what the secret to our community college system is, they’ll point to Chancellor Jimmy Baker and the 24 phenomenal college presidents he’s hired to run our schools. Thank you to Chancellor Jimmy Baker, Executive Vice-Chancellor Chris Cox, Ph.D. , Chief Workforce Development Officer Barry May, Regional Workforce Development Director Jennifer Hall, and Chief Facilities Officer Mark Salmon for a fantastic day!
