The Chilton-Clanton Campus is a vital resource to Chilton County that offers a variety of classrooms and labs, a Learning Resource Center, and all facilities needed to meet the requirements of Chilton County.
Our latest partnership with Jefferson State Community College, is our Chilton Workforce Development Center. We are currently working with the Jeff State and over 20 private companies to grow a hands on, industry focused workforce program. Our first two programs are focused in the heavy equipment sector. However, the Chilton County Workforce Development Committee is working to complete a comprehensive list
of workforce gaps. The list includes working with certain companies to create a personalized school for their future employees, working with private industry to create a general curriculum for construction and leadership, working to establish a pipeline from the career technical school
(9-12), two year system, four year research universities, and private companies.
Through the partnership with Jefferson State Community College programs are being identified and curriculums for each of the training courses. The current courses focused on for the Career Center are certifications programs in 3-d printing, heavy machine operator, drone certifications, and CDL simulation and driving, this allows for the student/trainee to “graduate” from the training facility with an industry recognized certificate. Grants have been written and the President of Jeff State Community College and their team are working with both the Chilton County Workforce Committee and private partners to fill the gaps in funding for these specified programs.
