Quick Start for New and Expanding Companies

 
 Your Company-West Georgia Technical College and Quick Start
 While there are many advantages to doing business in Georgia, one advantage that might surprise you is the Georgia Quick Start Program. A three-way partnership your company, WGTC, and Georgia Quick Start can lead to a better-qualified workforce. Quick Start provides job specific training at no cost for new and expanding companies. Since 1967, Quick Start, has trained over half a million highly qualified employees for more than 5,000 Georgia businesses. Quick Start training includes what your company needs to get a quality workforce up and running. It means teaching your employees how to be more productive and how to get involved in a company's success. This integrated training provides your employees with the skills, knowledge, and the attitudes that will ensure a successful start up or expansion.
 
The First Step
First, your company can be assured that your training program will be comprehensive. A training needs analysis will be conducted to identify major job classifications and the training required for your new or expanding workforce. A Certified Economic Development Trainer from the Quick Start and/or WGTC will conduct the training analysis. After the training analysis is completed, Quick Start and WGTC will present an outlined plan of services that will help your company's training needs. Next, with your assistance and approval, we will design and coordinate your training program from inception to completion.
