Skills for Success

Skills for Success is a workforce training initiative powered by the ACCS Innovation Center, a division of the Alabama Community College System. This program is dedicated to helping individuals gain valuable skills while strengthening Alabama’s economy through accessible, fast-track training.

Courses are designed to close the skills gap and prepare Alabamians for high-demand careers. Each training is tailored specifically for Alabama residents and focuses on delivering quick, industry-recognized credentials in fields where skilled workers are needed most.

Training is offered at no cost, thanks to legislative funding that supports statewide development and delivery.
