Politicians love to throw around the phrase “job creation,” but few stop to think about how exactly companies moving to Georgia create a skilled, trained workforce capable of fulfilling their needs.

A key component of Georgia’s consistently high business climate rankings, Quick Start provides the link between Georgia’s skilled workforce and the various companies who need access to it.
Quick Start Executive Director Rodger Brown sat down with our friends at Georgia CEO this week to discuss his organization’s role in the economic development process and why it is frequently a deciding factor in why companies choose Georgia over competing states.
