East AlabamaWorks Leadership Skills Training classes introduce leaders to a variety of leadership responsibilities that can assist in leading people more successfully. AIDT’s Leadership Skills 1, 2, and 3 classes focus on skills that all leaders need to be effective. Training classes are open to any business and industry employees ready for – or already in – leadership roles.

Leadership Skills 1 is the recommended first course followed by Leadership Skills 2 and ending with Leadership Skills 3. However, it is not required that the classes be taken in any particular order. Certification tests are given at the conclusion of each class and result in an AIDT Leadership Skills certification.
