Jackson County Partners Welcome the County’s First Innovation and Career Academy in Hollywood, Alabama
Jackson County, AL – Jackson County School District partners with Jackson County Economic Development Authority to launch another Alabama first from Jackson county – The Trailblazing Innovation and Career Academy broke ground today at the Jackson County Industrial Park, located off HWY 72 in Hollywood Alabama.
The new career center is meant to provide a one-stop hub for potential employees who want to work with independent companies, from customer service representatives to managers and every role in between. It will provide hands on training to students who are seeking a direct path from education to profession.
“This is a great development by Jackson County Schools and it will do so much to help our community for generations to come. It shows great vision.”
For those who want to establish a career right out of high school, independent company partnerships offer a promising route. The organizations tend to operate without a strict corporate structure in place, meaning independents could offer career hopefuls room to learn more, take on additional responsibility and grow with the business. The Career Academy’s goal is to make recruitment and employee retention stronger for independent organizations with this new resource.
“We are excited for the opportunity this will offer for the future of Jackson County’s youth and also how it will offer a much-needed skilled workforce for our existing business and industry. We are proud to have had the opportunity to work with the Jackson County Board of Education to locate this center in the Jackson County Industrial Park.”
