A donation from Troy University will help the jobless in Henry County prepare for employment. Dothan Campus Interim Vice Chancellor Bob Willis (right) presents a computer and monitor, which had been used on the Dothan Campus, to representatives from Henry County Workforce & Leadership Development. In all, TROY is donating a total of twenty computer systems. The agency will use them at academies slated to open in Headland and Abbeville in 2008 to provide tutoring and job skills training for the unemployed, the under-employed, non-college-bound high school students and dropouts.
