Alabama Energy Infrastructure Training Center and Network Aims to Equip Alabama Workforce for Energy Industry

The Alabama Energy Infrastructure Training Center and Network is a new program aimed at equipping Alabama workers for the energy industry. The program is a workforce development partnership between the Alabama State Legislature, the Alabama Community College System and Alabama Power.

The training center seeks to address the growing demand for skilled professionals in the energy sector by providing training opportunities that will help equip Alabama’s workforce with the necessary skills to thrive in this dynamic industry. The primary location is an expansion of the HVAC Training Center in Jasper, Ala., a long-standing partnership between Bevill State Community College and Alabama Power, and will involve the construction of a new building that is currently in the architectural planning phase.

In addition to the Bevill State location, the program will also include the ability to support remote training at community colleges across the state. The training pathways include the following: Electric Vehicles, Connectivity, PV Solar/Microgrid, HVAC and Weatherization.

On Wednesday, March 27, at 2:30 p.m., the AEITCN is hosting an announcement program and reception to celebrate the program’s launch at the HVAC Training Center in Jasper.
