prosperity doesn’t happen by itself. It takes the energy of dedicated
employees and the commitment of business owners and management. At Quick
Start, we work with both of these groups in order to train workers, improve
efficiencies, and help new and existing businesses create the jobs that
keep our state growing. But we don’t do it alone. We are just one
part of the team of state agencies that strive to improve our quality
of life and the strength of our economy.
As
noted in the Partner’s Perspective that was contributed for this
issue by Emory professor Jeffrey Rosensweig, we are living in a global
economy. This has impact on communities from metro Atlanta to Sparta,
in rural Hancock County. You’ll see in the roundup of FY02 results
that Quick Start has been doing its part, working with an increasing number
of international companies
in recent years.
Addressing
the challenges of the global economy requires the collective efforts of
everyone, from our professional instructors
to the local economic development officials to the managers on the plant
floors. The projects you’ll read about in this issue will demonstrate
how effectively Georgia’s team is performing.
