Supporting the "Go Build Georgia Program"
GPC President and CEO Paul Bowers said that the availability of skilled labor is among the top reasons companies choose a particular area to locate. Supporting the "Go Build Georgia" is a natural fit for Georgia Power.
Georgia is experiencing a shortage of skilled trade workers. Gov. Nathan Deal said there will be 16,500 openings in Georgia this year for workers such as pipe fitters and plumbers, electricians and boiler makers.
"GO Build Georgia" is a program aimed at encouraging more students to engage in technical training.
