The Alabama/Florida Technical Employment Network (AF-TEN) will address a growing disconnect between the skills of available workers and the regional demand for employees with skills for advanced manufacturing jobs. Targeting trade-impacted workers as well as the region's large population of veterans, AF-TEN will focus on areas of southern Alabama and northwest Florida where many adults have difficulty earning a family sustaining wage. The project will utilize online/hybrid learning, mobile welding units, simulation technologies, and open educational resources to expand learning opportunities particularly in rural areas and small towns where access to education is particularly challenging. The project will reach approximately 1,000 workers and provide stackable credentials from short and long vocational certificates to Associate of Applied Science degrees through customized career pathways based on student interests and needs.
