On Tuesday, February 28, Chattahoochee Valley Community College (CVCC) will host a Military and Veterans College and Career Workshop. This event is part of a series created from a partnership between the Alabama Community College System (ACCS) and the Alabama Association of Resource Conservation and Development Councils (RC&D). This partnership aims to promote awareness to military active-duty, guardsmen, reservists, retirees, veterans, and their dependents of the local services and programs available to them through Alabama’s community colleges. These services include access to veteran service officers, veterans’ educational benefits, apprenticeships, career services, mental health support, and credentials.

“The Alabama Community College System’s proposal to host workshops to help our veterans gives RC&D councils in every region of the state the opportunity to deliver essential information regarding education and employment opportunities for those who have done so much for our country,” said Katie Conner, Alabama RC&D Executive Director.

Veterans attend Alabama’s community colleges for academic or workforce training.

CVCC’s event will be held from 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM in the Phenix City room in Key Hall on campus. All active duty, reservists, retirees, and their families are invited to attend.
