Academy of Craft Training

The Academy of Craft Training is a public/private partnership located in Birmingham, Alabama. The organization is a key player in bridging the gap between education and employment in the construction industry, working with the State of Alabama’s K-12 education system. The Academy of Craft Training focuses on recruiting, educating, and guiding high school students toward successful careers in construction. They aim to provide these students with the necessary skills and knowledge to become entry-level, skilled workers, addressing the needs of a workforce often underserved by traditional education paths. The Academy's mission is particularly important considering that a significant portion of high school graduates choose not to pursue higher education and lack both academic and job skills. By providing specialized training and guidance, the Academy empowers these students with valuable career opportunities.
