CTAE continues to lead the way in preparing Georgia’s future workforce!

On Tuesday, the Regional Joint CTAE and Rivian Workforce Development Meeting brought together representatives from Rivian, the Georgia Department of Education, local school administrators, and economic development professionals from Newton, Walton, and Morgan counties to discuss workforce needs and partnership opportunities connected to the new Rivian manufacturing facility.

These collaborative conversations are helping align education with industry, ensuring students have access to high-quality Career, Technical, and Agricultural Education programs that develop the skills, experiences, and credentials needed for high-demand careers.

Strong partnerships between education, business, and community leaders are the foundation of a thriving workforce pipeline. Georgia CTAE is proud to help connect classrooms to careers and support the economic success of our students, our communities, and our state.
