On Tuesday, February 28, Chattahoochee Valley Community College (CVCC) will host a Military and Veterans College and Career Workshop. The event is open to all military active-duty, guardsmen, reservists, retirees, veterans, family members, and anyone who has served. The event will be held from 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM in the Phenix City room in Key Hall on campus.

A $2,000 scholarship to CVCC, courtesy of the Alabama Community College System (ACCS), will be awarded to one attendee during the event.

Those interested can register for this event at www.accs.edu/veterans/.

This event is part of a series created by ACCS and the Alabama Association of Resource Conservation and Development Councils (RC&D) partnership. This partnership promotes awareness of the local services and programs available 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.
