    The Industrial Foundation represents the best of what business, industry, and COMMUNITY can do when we put our heads together: we can be true difference makers. Our Team is largely Hispanic and, although we’ve been in business for 30+ years, never heard of any interest from our team in learning English until recently. I mentioned the internal conversation in an email to Charlie, wondering if the training consortium would have any courses to offer our team. Within a couple of days, a few of us had met in person, sent a follow up email or two, and a BRAND NEW program was in the works. With help from partners through the Foundation, school system, and other local businesses, 30+ Spanish speakers were taking an English as a second language course on Monday afternoons. That is the power of this unique network. Because of this, we’ve made a huge stride in improving our culture, team health and communication, and GROWING as a business. I’m so thankful for the willingness of this organization and their continued impact on making Shelby County the best it can be, present and future.

      Our Objective

      Workforce Development

      A consortium is a group made up of two or more individuals, companies, or governments that work together to achieve a common objective. Our objective is workforce development.

      The importance of a skilled workforce has never been greater. Commerce has expanded globally and successful companies prepare to meet evolving needs.

      The Training Consortium is governed by Shelby County Associated Industries. Through this industry-led group, common needs and gaps in skills-training are identified and addressed.

      Though SCAI helps create a roadmap for the training schedule, individual industries are highly encouraged to contact us directly to make requests and suggestions at any time.

      Why SCAI

      Because our varied industries face similar challenges and we can develop faster, stronger and cheaper solutions together.
