governments to provide accessible and affordable educational
opportunities for municipal and county employees in the greater
Birmingham area. The Local Government Leadership Center seeks to
enlighten local governments of educational opportunities, offer
customized instruction relative to their specific needs and
maintain collaborative relationships to ensure desired
instruction is presented. The Center's purpose is to offer
workforce development and professional training necessary to
maintain a core of skilled government employees who continue to
meet workplace requirements and communicate, identify and
respond to local needs. The vision of the Center is a
partnership between local governments and Jefferson State to
ensure member employees have access to, and gain successful
results from, beneficial educational opportunities. These
opportunities will be made available through coordinated efforts
of the Center and Jefferson State.
