Murray Plastics Selected for Apprenticeship 101 Program

Murray Plastics is one of the first recipients, along with Georgia Poultry Laboratory Network, of cost-reimbursement for the Apprentiship 101 program through the Gainesville and Hall County Development Authority.

The Appalachian Regional Commission committed $300,000 toward the pilot program to the Gainesville and Hall County Development Authority to provide up to $15,000 of cost reimbursement to companies that sponsor a 2-year apprentice through one of the five programs at Lanier Technical College:  Industrial Maintenance/Mechatronics, General Machining, CNC Machining, Welder/Fabricator and Quality Technician. 

The funds can support up to 20 apprenticeships at Hall County companies. As the pilot has shown success, companies in the Worksource Georgia Mountains 13-county region may also receive $15,000 of cost reimbursement for the 2-year #APP101 program offered at both Lanier Technical College and North Georgia Technical College.

Proud Member of the Georgia Manufacturing Alliance

We are a professional organization on a mission to create profitable business connections for our members through direct referrals and the events we provide. Since 2008 GMA has been the most active group of manufacturing professionals in the state.

We see businesses every day that send work out of the state and occasionally out of the country. Often, this work could be done locally, sometimes with companies in the same parking lot. This trend continues to grow as a direct result of not knowing who in the area has the capabilities to do the work. We simply don't know our neighbors.
