Honored as Best in State

The Adult Education program at Calhoun Community college was honored with the Governor’s Partnership in Progress Workforce Development Award as the “Outstanding Adult Education Program”  for the state of Alabama during the annual Alabama Workforce Development conference held earlier this month in Birmingham.  The award was presented to Calhoun’s Adult Education program director, Chris Miller, during the conference’s Awards Luncheon.

The Governor’s Partners in Progress Awards recognize those individuals who have built partnerships within the integrated Workforce system.  Nominations are accepted throughout all partner agencies.  The program proactively and aggressively pursues a variety of avenues to reach businesses and industries to enhance the educational opportunities for each Alabamian employed or seeking employment.  Over the past two years, presentations have been made to more than 30 companies in the North Alabama area showing how adult education can benefit the company by upgrading basic skills and through WorkKeys testing.
