Dear industry leaders, educators, parents and students,

Due to caution regarding COVID-19, WOW 2.0 will be postponed. We will make a decision in the coming weeks about possibly rescheduling the event or changing WOW 2.0 to a virtual event. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.

Our community’s safety — especially our children’s safety — is of the upmost priority at this time. The Alabama State Department of Education has recommended postponing field trips, like WOW 2.0, and the City of Tuscaloosa has cancelled events through early April.

We want to ensure our students have the possibility to interview for full- and part-time jobs. We will update you with our plans to allow seniors to still experience a version of WOW 2.0.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the West Alabama Works team. We’re thankful to have you as a partner in the workforce development process, helping Alabama grow stronger through our region’s children.
