AIDT, an institution of the Alabama Community College System, encourages economic development through job-specific training. Training services are offered in many areas, at no cost, to new and expanding businesses throughout the State. Opportunities can be viewed at www.aidt.edu/jobs.

The Mission of AIDT is to provide quality workforce development for Alabama's new and existing businesses, and to expand the opportunities of its citizens through the jobs these businesses create.
Creation of AIDT
AIDT was established in fiscal year 1970-71 as a contract program reporting to the State Board of Education through the Division of Vocational-Technical Education of the Department of Education. At its meeting June 17, 1976, the State Board of Education adopted Resolution 12 approving the establishment of AIDT as a mobile training institute.

The purpose of the resolution was to clarify the mission and scope of work performed, as well as authorize administrative, fiscal, and personnel autonomy and flexibility. State Board Resolution 14, approved September 24, 1976, appointed a director, established staff positions and salary schedules, and mandated personnel procedures for AIDT staff identical to those of the technical colleges.

AIDT continued operating under the Department of Postsecondary Education when the Alabama Legislature established the Department and the position of Chancellor. There is no legislation specifically creating AIDT. It exists through annual line item funding in the Education Trust Fund budget. In 2012 AIDT became a division of the Alabama Department of Commerce.
