Workforce Training

Alabamians are eager to work – and just as zealous to invest time learning new skills. Expansion of the Mercedes auto factory drew 40,000 applicants for 1,600 jobs. Toyota saw 9,000 apply for 350 engine-making jobs. Boeing’s 2,500 positions attracted 29,000 job-seekers at the Delta IV rocket booster plant.

Those applicants selected are instructed by the top-ranked work force training program in the United States. And their numbers are increasing. Projections show the Southern United States as the fastest growing region in the nation (111 million in 2012).

Meanwhile, Alabama has assembled a collective unit of 22 community colleges, four technical colleges, one upper division college and two statewide training programs. Called the Alabama College Network (ACN), this well-rounded system covers all the bases of business, technical and industrial education for new and existing companies, and for new students coming out of high school.

ACN has 80 locations across the state with 10,000 employees serving some 300,000 students annually.

AIDT

Rated the No. 1 work force training program in the United States by Expansion Management magazine (2004 and 2006), AIDT is a turnkey approach, providing pre-employment recruiting, screening and training. AIDT follows up with training in leadership and managerial development. It also offers safety assessments prior to OSHA inspections and evaluates maintenance procedures.
