This initiative sparks interest in the essential skilled trades by providing students with a fun, interactive experience in the Be Pro Be Proud Mobile Workforce Workshop. The impressive 40-foot rig features simulations of Georgia’s most in-demand skilled professions – all powered by the latest industry-driven technology. While visiting, students will learn about the Be Pro Be Proud Georgia website that connects high-demand careers, the education needed, and area employers who hire for those positions.

Many thanks to our partners and the attendees for the great conversations and engagement! Read more about the work we’re doing together: https://lnkd.in/gHRPDmwy
Be Pro Be Proud GA’s 2nd stop on their roadshow was in my hometown of Augusta, Georgia. This event was well supported by the local school districts leadership, local and state government officials, Augusta’s EDA, Georgia Power Company’s Augusta region and many others. Although new and improved, this trailer still serves as an engaging and innovative resource for career awareness and exposure. This immersive, technology driven learning experience on wheels was thoughtfully designed to connect students to high-demand careers. The most exciting part of this day was, the Richmond County School System students at T.W. Josey High School and the Marion E. Barnes Career Center were the first students in the state to tour. What an exciting and memorable day for these students! #workforcedevelopment #education #AlBYoungproud
We had a great time checking out Georgia’s Be Pro Be Proud ‘s new mobile workshop!
Excited about the efforts of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce and the launch (from Savannah) of the Be Pro Be Proud statewide campaign and their new mobile unit. At Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America (HMGMA), we embrace the long term impact of efforts like this as we move boldly toward the future of mobility. #technicaleducation is the #futureofeducation w/Technical College System of Georgia college
It was awesome attending Skilled Trades Signing Day last week! Be Pro Be Proud put on this awesome event to celebrate high school seniors going into skilled trades. Two of our Georgia Trade School students have already finished the program before graduating from high school. I think my career might've been the last thing on my mind when I was 17. Proud of these guys.
