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 spring 2023 term in late January. Created in 2014, the program uses student volunteers from within the business college to work with community participants in a classroom setting.
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.
Registration and specific course descriptions are available on the Culverhouse LIFT website at lift.culverhouse.ua.edu.
“LIFT is all about the one-on-one experience. Participants get the attention they need to progress at a pace right for them,” said Lisa McKinney, accounting lecturer, LIFT program coordinator and a certified public accountant.
