Did You Know?

Apprenticeships in Georgia are booming! More than 10,000 Georgians are currently earning while they learn through registered apprenticeship programs supported by the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG). With average starting wages around $15/hour, participants typically see a 38% wage increase and earn a nationally recognized credential upon completion.

Georgia is investing heavily in talent development:
• High-Demand Career Initiatives (HDCI): Senate Bill 379 funds businesses up to $50,000 to create or expand apprenticeships in fields like manufacturing and healthcare.
• Public Sector Apprenticeships: Senate Bill 497 provides $5,000 per apprentice for local and state government roles, including firefighters and teachers.
• Largest Apprenticeship Network: TCSG and its 22 colleges serve as the state’s primary apprenticeship sponsor.
• Youth Apprenticeships: High school students can train in real jobs while completing their diploma.
• Key Industries: Opportunities span manufacturing (including Georgia’s Hyundai Metaplant), healthcare, IT, and more.
• Program Length & Benefits: Most apprenticeships last 2–4 years and lead to a portable credential that boosts long-term career success.
