About Us

In order for businesses to grow and compete in the local and global economy, they must have skilled, experienced workers. New and evolving business models reaffirm that education, job training and career development are the cornerstones of economic security for Mobile County's workers. That's where we come in.

We are Mobile Works and we're dedicated to building a world-class workforce with solutions that create a stronger economy, so that all Mobilians have the opportunity to share in the prosperity of Mobile. We invite you to learn more about us and our programs.
