TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Free tutoring, job skills and financial literacy training sessions will soon be available to West Alabama residents, including veterans and teens, through The University of Alabama’s Culverhouse College of Business.
Culverhouse LIFT, or Learning Initiative and Financial Training, will begin classes for its fall 2022 term in September.
Created in 2014, the program uses student volunteers from within the business college to work with community participants in a classroom setting.
Registration and specific course descriptions are available on the Culverhouse LIFT website at lift.culverhouse.ua.edu.
“It’s a one-on-one tutoring relationship between the student and the participant,” said Lisa McKinney, accounting lecturer, LIFT program coordinator and a certified public accountant.
“Some programs, such as the QuickBooks and bookkeeping offering, have a virtual option allowing for working professionals to participate in classes from afar.”
Sponsored by the Culverhouse College of Business and the Culverhouse School of Accountancy, LIFT’s sessions include computer skills and bookkeeping. LIFT also offers tutoring for youth and teens.
