Driving economic vitality in our region is a collaborative effort, and we are incredibly grateful for our partnership with the GaMEP in supporting this mission. Our role is to foster the next generation of workforce to support key industries in our state, such as manufacturing. Through collaborations such as the Manufacturing Growth Meetings and West Georgia Manufacturing Day, we work together to bridge the gap between industry, education, and students — strengthening manufacturing in our region and beyond. —Julie Post, Ed.D, West Georgia Technical College President ”
We develop and participate in programs, such as National Manufacturing Day and Project Purpose, that educate, train, and upskill current and future manufacturing, transportation, and warehousing workers. By partnering with
local communities and manufacturers to create pathways for diverse talent, we help build a strong, skilled workforce ready to meet the evolving needs of high-demand industries
in Georgia.
