GMA is pleased to provide unique tours in all regions of Georgia. These tours help grow our community and build strategic alliances within the manufacturing community. By sharing solutions to common challenges and identifying best practices, we are building stronger businesses in Georgia.

Business, community and educational leaders in West Georgia share their experience in the journey to build  a successful workforce development program. This program includes a panel discuss along with a tour of THINC College and Career Academy and West Georgia Technical College.
