Description

Join the Madison County Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the Athens Area Chamber of Commerce and Elbert County Chamber of Commerce, for a Regional Industry Roundtable Discussion focused on workforce development, regional collaboration, and the future of industry growth across Northeast Georgia.

Hosted at Athens Technical College, this collaborative discussion will bring together business and industry leaders from across the region for meaningful conversations surrounding workforce challenges, recruitment and retention strategies, training opportunities, and practical solutions for long-term business success.

A brief introduction will be provided by Mr. Taylor of Elbert Memorial Hospital, followed by a short spotlight on how the hospital is helping bridge healthcare gaps that impact local employers and their workforce. This discussion will highlight available healthcare resources, rural healthcare solutions, and opportunities for businesses to connect employees with quality care close to home.

Commissioner Dozier will provide valuable insight into current workforce trends, statewide workforce development initiatives, and opportunities available to help employers strengthen and grow their workforce pipelines.

This event is designed to encourage candid discussion and regional collaboration while highlighting the importance of partnerships between employers, educational institutions, workforce organizations, and community leaders. As Northeast Georgia continues experiencing significant growth and opportunity, this conversation aims to ensure that growth strengthens the unique character, industries, and communities that make our region thrive.
