Calhoun Community College announced Wednesday morning a new computer course will start on July 9th.
The school says the demand for qualified Computer Support Specialists in North Alabama continues to grow and they want to prepare people for the positions.

The course will meet twice a week and will run through October. According to Calhoun, the course meets the criteria for high-wage, high-demand career training, it has been approved for WIOA (Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act) funding. That means students who qualify can take the course at no cost.
