Quick Start's Banner Year 2001:
Training Is Our Business

Projects
From 2000 to 2001, the number of Quick Start projects increased from 279 to 296. Of the 296 projects, 121 were with new projects and 175 were expansion projects. FY 01 is the ninth consecutive year in which the number of expansion projects exceeded new projects.

Trainees
The number of trainees for new and expanding companies increased by 3,803 (10.7 percent) this year, from 35,613 in FY 00 to 39,416. Due to the complexity of today’s jobs, most employees require training in multiple skill tracks. This year’s number of trainees set another record for Quick Start.

Geographic Distribution
More than half of Quick Start’s projects and more than 40 percent of trainees were with companies in rural Georgia.

Quick Start's International Reach
In FY 01, Quick Start supported 65 new and expanding international projects.
