MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER

Thanks to the support of Governor Kemp and the General Assembly, the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG) was able to invest more than $1 million towards expanding apprenticeships in Georgia, which created more than 125 new registered apprentices in our state’s workforce.

The HDCI Program has been integral to helping Georgia businesses both learn more about Registered Apprenticeship Programs (RAPs), and access funding awards to offset the cost of investing in their workforce through these quality programs. Registered Apprentices not only become highly skilled workers, but also industry leading talent that help Georgia outrank the rest of the nation as the number one state in which to do business.

In accordance with section 20-4-153 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, I am pleased to share this report on HDCI program activities during Fiscal Year 2023, and the impact it has had on Georgia businesses and industries. On behalf of TCSG, we appreciate the opportunity to establish and deliver the HDCI Program to the state of Georgia and look forward to administering this program again next year.
