The Alabama State Board of Education created the North Alabama
Skills Center by resolution, in 1978, to provide a comprehensive
system of training and training-related services to a selected
target population. The North Alabama Skills Center can trace
its origin back to 1962, with the implementation of the Manpower
Development and Training Act. In 2001, the North Alabama Skills
Center became the North Alabama Skills Training Consortium.
The Consortium is an agency within the Alabama Department of
Postsecondary
Education and is funded through the federal (WIA) Workforce
Investment Act legislation via contract with the Workforce
Development Division
of Alabama's Department of Economic and Community Affairs.

Alabama Opportunity Programs, Inc. provides job training and
placement, including a full range of services for migrant and
seasonal farm
workers. Services are designed to provide farm workers with maximum
employment opportunities, which will lead to the economic upgrading
of farm worker families, as well as a full mix of related services.
Services will be directed toward either providing alternatives
to agricultural labor or toward improving an agricultural life-style.
AOPS will also work with other partners in Alabama’s One-Stop
System to ensure that all possible areas of services to the customers
are provided.
AOPS general service strategy includes those services available
through the Workforce Investment Act, Section 167 and the One-Stop
delivery system. It consists of the core, intensive and training
services, along with related assistance services. Memorandums of
Understanding (MOUs) have been established with other One-Stop
Delivery System Partners through the Alabama Department of Economic
and Community Affairs (ADECA) in which AOPS is the Service Delivery
Agency for the WIA, Section 167 Program. MOUs have also been established
with other WIA Section 167 grantees across the Southeast and in
the Delta region.
