This is our Why
"It’s our goal to ensure that every single Georgia student graduates prepared—not just for higher education,
should they choose to pursue it, but also for a meaningful career in the field of their choice. For that reason,
employability skills are a matter of importance for every Georgia student, every Georgia educator, and every
Georgia business. Working together, we can make sure each student who graduates from a Georgia high
school is equipped for a successful future." Richard Woods, Georgia School Superintendent

“Employability skills, like punctuality, integrity and strong communication skills, separate good workers from
good employees. In an industry where differentiation is critical to reputation, those who present themselves
with these skills have a clear advantage in getting hired.” -Ellis Lowe, SHRM-SCP Human Resource Manager,
Estes Services, Atlanta, Georgia
