GA Launches Program to Help Employers Find Workers

Gov. Brian Kemp and the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG) recently announced $1 million in awards for the inaugural Registered Apprenticeships program as part of the High Demand Career Initiative (HDCI). These investments will create 120 new apprenticeships throughout the state across multiple industries in need of workers following generational investment and job creation in the Peach State, including healthcare, manufacturing, and construction. “This is encouraging news for Georgia’s small businesses,” NFIB State Director Nathan Humphrey said. “Our members say finding qualified workers is one of their greatest challenges. This program will help ensure young people entering the workforce have the skills they need to fill the positions that are out there.” During the 2022 legislative session, Governor Kemp and lawmakers partnered to pass SB 379, representing a historic investment in apprenticeships in Georgia through the HDCI Program. The HDCI Program awards up to $50,000 in funding to Georgia businesses to upskill workers through registered apprenticeships and increase skilled talent within Georgia’s high-demand industries.
