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.

Add Northeast Alabama Community College to the list of Alabama community colleges reaching notable enrollment numbers this semester! #makelifebetter #accsuccess #highenrollment
NACC recorded one of its highest student enrollments in history during the Fall 2024 semester. College administrators report that Northeast saw a ten percent increase this fall compared to the Fall 2023 semester, with over 3,200 students registering for classes this semester. 🎉 According to NACC President Dr. David Campbell, only the fall semesters of 2009 (3,370 students), 2010 (3,439 students), and 2011 (3,296 students) recorded more registered students than this semester. "This was after the Great Recession of 2008 and many people had lost their jobs," said NACC President Dr. David Campbell. "I think Northeast was at one of its finest hours during this time because so many community people were able to come to Northeast for training to get new jobs and careers. The college was truly a lifeline for so many people."

The 1st class of participants in a new career readiness program aimed at increasing the number of Alabama Department of Corrections (ADOC) correctional officers graduated this week, marking the successful completion of the six-week program hosted at Jefferson State Community College in Birmingham and Reid State Lions in Evergreen. A total of 23 residents completed the program. As a result, they earned college credits and are now eligible to enroll in the ADOC’s Corrections Academy, joining the Correctional Officer Class 2024-04 that begins Sept. 30. ACTIVATE is a joint initiative between ADOC and the Alabama Community College System (ACCS) that offers a no-cost pathway to a career as a correctional officer, helping individuals who may face physical or educational barriers meet the standards necessary to join the profession. The program is part of ADOC’s larger recruitment efforts, which have been bolstered by competitive starting salaries for correctional officers, currently ranging from $52,761.60 to $58,111.20 annually. Officers also have the potential to receive approximately 30 percent in salary increases within their first 24 months of service. #makelifebetteral
