Anniston and Gadsden, AL – Gadsden State Community College is partnering with the Alabama Construction Recruitment Institute (ACRI) and Alabama Talent Solutions to host two free hiring events aimed at connecting Alabamians with career opportunities in commercial construction.
The events are part of the Go Build Alabama Initiative, an ACRI program focused on promoting the value of skilled trades and creating accessible pathways into the construction industry. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet directly with employers, explore available positions, and learn more about training programs offered through Gadsden State, ACRI, and its partners.
“Go Build Alabama is proud to lead efforts that connect Alabamians with real opportunities in commercial construction,” said Jason Phelps, Executive Director of ACRI. “This hiring event is about more than filling jobs. It’s about creating career pathways, supporting local communities, and building the workforce needed to sustain North Alabama’s economic momentum and long-term growth.”
Andy Robertson, Dean of Workforce Development at Gadsden State, emphasized the importance of collaboration among education, industry, and workforce organizations. “Through partnerships with ACRI and Alabama Talent Solutions, we’re helping individuals gain access to meaningful careers that power our state’s future,” Robertson said.
Both events are open to students, alumni, and the public.
