Georgia Quick Start and The HON Company Hold Quick Start Signing Ceremony
In a ceremony on March 14, HON partnered with Georgia Quick Start and Coosa Valley Technical College to continue to improve their workforce training. HON is adding a fourth cell to its laminate product division and will invest approximately $1.6 million in the expansion.
Few Georgia companies are as dedicated to training as The HON Company. HON employs over 700 at their facility in Cedartown and produces both metal and wood office furniture. Just a few years ago, the company dedicated themselves to improving their workforce through training. As part of that effort, they partnered with Georgia Quick Start and Coosa Valley Technical College. HON is now recognized as one of the best of the best manufacturing companies in the United States, winning the prestigious Oglethorpe Award last year and the Shingo Award for Excellence in Manufacturing the year before.
Quick Start is Georgia’s premiere economic development program, administered through the Department of Technical and Adult Education. The Quick Start program is an economic incentive program that provides employee training, at no cost, for qualified companies moving into the state and qualified existing companies that are expanding their work force. The Quick Start program has been in existence since 1967. During this time period, they have trained more than 515,000 employees for more than 4,600 different companies.
