It's a TOP 10 LIST we can use! Industrial Maintenance Tech, Frontline Supervisor and Mechatronics/Robotics were each in the top 3 in the previous year.

In previous years, survey input resulted in the creation of the Quality Technician Control Apprenticeship and also the Supervisor & Industry Leadership Training (branded SAIL and LEAD) each offered at Lanier Technical College and North Georgia Technical College.

You can expect the partnership to be working on continuous improvement in workforce development efforts to benefit the manufacturing and trade-related industry sectors.

Georgia has 1,560 annual openings for Industrial Machinery Mechanics at an average annual salary of $56,000. The position requires Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, Dexterity, and a High School Diploma. #HotJobs #HotCareers2030

“Information was taught in a way that I could quickly digest it and implement it into my everyday life.”

They built a house!...and then they gave it away.

Can you imagine how many applicable skills high school students learned from this project?
