Innovative Career Center to Be First of Its Kind in Alabama

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. 

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.
