The Floor Covering Education Foundation (FCEF) announces the statewide rollout of the “Skills for Success: Flooring Installation Technician” course in partnership with the Alabama Community College System (ACCS). This collaboration brings high-quality flooring installation training to all 24 community and technical colleges across Alabama.
Developed through the ACCS Innovation Center as part of the Skills for Success initiative, this course equips students with industry-aligned skills in flooring installation and opens pathways to real employment opportunities.
“This course is a true example of what’s possible when industry and education come together to address real workforce needs,” said Julie Frizell, chief of operations for ACCS Innovation Center. “We’re proud to partner with FCEF to bring high-quality flooring installation training to communities across the state.”
“We are thrilled to see this partnership come full circle,” noted Kaye Whitener, executive director of FCEF. “By working side by side with ACCS, we are expanding access to meaningful training, elevating flooring installation as a recognized trade and helping Alabama employers tap into a new cadre of skilled talent.”
