Workforce Training
LOCAL SCHOOL SYSTEM
Moultrie has many partners in the workforce training space. The first and most obvious would be the Colquitt County Public School System and our area colleges and universities. These organizations are responsible for preparing thousands of students to enter the workforce each and every year. In addition to these, there are a couple of other resources that deserve special mention in this section.
TECHNICAL COLLEGE SYSTEM OF GEORGIA

From IT professionals to HVAC techs, Southern Regional gets students of all ages ready to go to work. And it isn’t just 2-year associate’s degrees.
