Albany Technical College, through the Center for Business Solutions, has partnered with the Albany/Dougherty Industry Roundtable along with the Chamber of Commerce and EDC to develop a new Technical Certificate of Credit.  This new program, Industrial Operations, has been approved by the Albany Technical College Board and the Technical College System of Georgia.
 
Local manufactures collaborated with the Center for Business Solutions to create a program from which they will hire new employees into entry level positions in their organizations.  The company partners include:  Procter & Gamble, MillerCoors, Coats & Clark, Mars Chocolate, Tara Foods, Albany Green Energy, Maintenance Center Albany – MCLB, Pfizer & SASCO Chemical.  Potential employees will be enrolled in the new TCC and be exposed to a variety of manufacturing principles including:  Lean Six Sigma, Operations Management, Industrial Mechanics and interpersonal skills.  Once complete, they will be given preferred “ready to work” status by the participating companies.  This is a new and exciting concept in meeting the workforce needs of our manufacturing community.  Albany Tech is pleased to have played a major role in developing this program for the community. 
 
The signing ceremony and informational event will be held on July 12th beginning at 10:00 AM at Albany Tech’s Kirkland Conference Center.
