 | Pictured here is our most recent graduating Certified Economic Developer Trainer class. This rigorous economic training lasts approximately 18 months and includes hands-on study of actual businesses in our state, as well as state-of-the-art business practices. Our graduates are some of the best economic developers in the state, grounded in real-world tasks and challenges.
The program is administered through Quick Start offices under the auspices of Director Sandra Morris, herself a certified economic development trainer. The purpose of this program is to keep our people abreast of changing business models and needs in this demanding economic culture. Dr. Ken Breeden, commissioner of the Technical College System of Georgia, and I commend these graduates.
I would also like to point out that these CEDT graduates represent a broad geographical base of Georgia's economy, which supports our mandate from Gov. Barnes to continue to serve all of Georgia. Quick Start has a long history of support in both metropolitan and rural areas; we plan to continue our efforts to serve all of "OneGeorgia."
