Workforce Career Centers proudly announces the opening of its Atlanta campus, a new trade school designed to meet the city’s critical workforce demands while empowering underserved communities through training, certifications and real-world experiences that connect education to in-demand careers.
According to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, America is facing a worker shortage crisis. Specifically, the skilled trades workforce is expected to experience a shortage of 2 million workers by 2030. Workforce Career Center addresses this by offering programming and training for students in high-demand industries through modern, hands-on education that leads directly to employment. Current program offerings include construction, culinary arts, healthcare, media, education, design and more.
“We are thrilled to bring our proven workforce training model to the Atlanta community,” says Marion Skinner, CEO of Workforce Career Centers. “Our mission is to prepare individuals for high-demand careers by ensuring they are equipped with the skills and certifications employers need most in this economy.”
Atlanta’s Industry Leaders Partner with Workforce Career Center
Workforce Career Center is collaborating with respected industry leaders in Atlanta, including Microsoft, Grady Health System, Atlanta Public Schools, DataBank, Georgia Workforce Development, Georgia Department of Labor, Georgia Tech OSHA Consultation Program, and the Georgia Adult Supervision for Probation and Parole.
With support from Microsoft, Workforce Career Center plans to teach students high-level skills involving AI productivity tools.
“This collaboration with Workforce Career Centers expands access to AI education and skills training,” says Darrell Booker, Tech Community Acceleration Manager, Microsoft. “This program equips students with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in an AI-driven world.”
Grady Health Systems will provide clinical training opportunities in medical programs, such as phlebotomy, while Atlanta Public Schools connects students to hands-on career pathways as a teacher’s aide.
“These early partners recognize the value of practical, workforce-aligned education – and they’ve chosen to help shape it with us,” continues Skinner. “We’re building the workforce these companies need, which benefits both our local communities and our economy.”
