ACCS Board of Trustees Meeting 7-10-19

Marion Military Institute's SwampFox experience is one that cadets are bound to remember. ACCS Ambassador John Mark Kirklands gives us a glimpse of what SwampFox is all about.

Marine Corps Veteran Lance Voorhees is among veterans who choose an Alabama community college to study welding or other technical programs that can maximize experiences in a #civilian industry. Voorhees is a Calhoun Community College student who credits the engagement of community college staff and instructors for Student Success. Thank you to all veterans who serve. Valuing you and your education are among our efforts to express our gratitude. Great job to #ACCSuccess Student Ambassador Morgan Christ for this wonderful video.

After accepting a temp job, Krystal McAnelly enrolled in a Ready to Work session at Snead State Community College's Arab campus which gave her the qualities her company wanted to hire her full-time with benefits.

Alabama’s Ready to Work program, operated by the Alabama Community College System in cooperation with AIDT, provides a career pathway for individuals with limited education and employment experience. Ready to Work’s workplace environment provides trainees the entry-level skills required for employment with most businesses and industries in Alabama.
