North AlabamaWorks collaborates with ACCS & colleges to answer industry requests for training - North AlabamaWorks! North AlabamaWorks collaborates with ACCS & colleges to answer industry requests for training Each year Alabama’s Regional Workforce Councils collaborate with the Alabama Community College System to align industry needs with college training offerings.
The Alabama Community College System (ACCS) provides grant opportunities to support Alabama community colleges to develop innovative, creative, and regionally customized workforce development projects. These annual grants are known as the ACCS Workforce Development Competitive Funds. Funding sources supporting this initiative include the Industry Certification Initiative and Special Populations funds.
In the spring North AlabamaWorks develops Requests for Training through its Industry Clusters. Business and industry leaders are provided the opportunity to discuss and determine with their cluster peers the greatest needs across their industry sector. North Alabama’s Industry Clusters include Aerospace, Automotive, Construction, Cyber/IT, Healthcare, Manufacturing, Transportation/Logistics, and Utilities.
As commonality is found in workforce needs, the Regional Workforce Council then solicits colleges within its region to answer these Requests for Training with programmatic and equipment-based solutions. Grant submissions continue into early summer, culminating with grant proposal presentations to the Regional Workforce Council’s Board of Directors, which is made up of North Alabama business and industry leaders.
The Council considers the criteria provided by the Industry Clusters and scores grant proposals according to how well the colleges’ proposals meet the expressed needs of business and industry. Once ranked by the board, North AlabamaWorks submits the proposal scores to the Alabama Community College System. ACCS then considers each workforce region’s recommendations to determine grant awards to be made to community colleges in the fall.
For 2023, North AlabamaWorks received 17 grant proposals valued at more than $3,000,000. Participating colleges in Alabama’s Workforce Region 1 included Bevill State Community College, Calhoun Community College, Drake State Community & Technical College, Northeast Alabama Community College, Northwest Shoals Community College, and Wallace State Community College.
North AlabamaWorks deeply appreciates the opportunity to work with the outstanding regional colleges in North Alabama and the Alabama Community College System. This type of collaboration continues to rapidly advance workforce development in Region 1.
Aligning business and industry needs with regional training opportunities provides high-wage, high-demand careers for our citizens as well as a reliable workforce pipeline of well-prepared employees for our industries.
