Cobb Chamber’s SelectCobb in partnership with WorkSource Cobb invite qualified workforce and economic development consulting firms and similar entities to submit proposals for a Feasibility & Implementation Study to evaluate the need, structure, and viability of an Apprenticeship Consortium in Cobb County/Metro Atlanta.
Cobb County’s and Metro Atlanta’s economy is growing across manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, construction, energy, and technology sectors. Employers are increasingly challenged to find and retain skilled talent, especially in technical and trade occupations.
Apprenticeships provide an effective, employer driven strategy for building talent pipelines that support local businesses and connect residents to high quality career pathways.
The purpose of this study is to assess workforce gaps, determine industries where apprenticeships would be successful, map existing training assets, evaluate consortium management and financial models, and produce an actionable, data-driven roadmap for launching a sustainable apprenticeship consortium aligned with Georgia’s workforce priorities.
Firms with experience in workforce development, labor market analysis, apprenticeship program design, or implementation strategy are encouraged to review and respond.
