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.

The Vera Institute, an independent nonprofit national research and policy organization specializing in criminal justice, gave the state high marks across several categories for the two prison educational programs, including for career and technical programs offered through J.F. Ingram State Community College. “There are dedicated staff who pay attention and care quite deeply about things like faculty qualifications and library resources,” said Ruth Delaney, director for the Unlocking Potential initiative at the Vera Institute of Justice. “They are effectively running a college within a college in some ways, making sure the services get to the students who are in prison.” Great job, Ingram State Technical College!
