The previous MFG Sector Occupational Priorities list drove the creation of training, workshops, bootcamps and apprenticeships. Let's hear from our manufacturers about your priorities.
Manufacturing is the highest employment sector in the
Georgia Mountains Region at an average pay rate of $28/hour.
Over 50 apprentices are active at 19 Manufacturing Employers in the 13-county region. National Apprenticeship Week is an opportunity to highlight an industry-driven training model that provides a critical talent pipeline to address some of our pressing workforce challenges.
