Partnerships - “To join or associate with another as partner”
Aside from our various locations – Asheville Campus, Enka site, Madison Site, A-B Tech South and A-B Tech Woodfin – there are also many organizations across Asheville and Buncombe counties that we are proud to join with, as we fulfill our vision of Changing Lives and Strengthening Communities. We are featuring just a few and them in this publication but will continue to do so in future schedules.
Did you know we partner with:
Asheville Buncombe Community Christian Ministry (ABCCM) Veterans Restoration Quarters - Their mission is to create a principle-based environment and comprehensive residential program that addresses every area of restoration in the life of a homeless Veteran.
ABCCM Transformation Village - Transformation village is ABCCM's vision of taking every single woman, mom with children, and intact family off the street or out of a car.
Goodwill Industries of NW North Carolina - a nonprofit organization that has served the community since 1926. Through the sale of donated items in their stores, they fund employment and training programs that help people find hope, opportunity and jobs.

This program is designed to serve those who served by assisting them and their families with the following: Assessment and Planning, Career Coaching, Resume Preparation, LinkedIn Profile Setup, Job Skills Training, Career Placement Assistance and Community Resource Information. In order to become a participant, you must be a Veteran of any United States Armed Service branch, be the spouse of a Veteran, or the dependent of a Veteran. Documentation is needed upon enrollment.

We provide comprehensive community-based peer support for justice involved citizens who are re-entering the workforce with an emphasis on those who have been released from prison within the past year.

A-B Tech is proud to work with so many dedicated community members. I look forward to sharing more of our community partners in the future.
