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.

Auburn University and Southern Union State Community College agreed to construct a hangar to help solve the national aviation mechanic shortage, according to Auburn. “Our students and those from Southern Union will be able to use this new facility to learn skills that can propel them to long and successful careers in aviation. This agreement will help Auburn continue to produce exceptional graduates who can make an impact in the industry for generations to come," said James Witte, the director of the Auburn School of Aviation. The new facility will be constructed close to the Delta Air Lines Aviation Education Building and School of Aviation’s maintenance hangar at Auburn University Regional Airport. “The pool of experienced aviation technicians and mechanics has dwindled, creating a severe deficit in the field,” said Southern Union President Todd Shackett. “We are excited about the opportunity to address a real need in the workforce that this partnership brings.”
