For years, Google has been a powerful and positive force in metro Atlanta and across Georgia. The company has proudly called Georgia home for more than two decades with an office in Atlanta and a data center in Douglas County. In 2024 alone, the company generated $17.7 billion in economic activity, supporting tens of thousands of local businesses, nonprofits, publishers, creators, and developers, according to company records. MAX is proud and honored to be among the nonprofits Google has chosen to support this year.
MAX is honored to announce that Google is committing to investing in the ongoing professional development of workforce developers and will serve as our Presenting Sponsor for the MAX Academy!
In addition, Google is committing to help MAX continue to build out our programs and services for workforce developers in the Atlanta region as a MAX Anchor Investor at the Advocate level. In doing so, Google joins our MAX Anchor Investors in helping MAX serve our region with excellence.
MAX extends our sincere appreciation to Google for investing in the future of our workforce development network as a MAX Anchor Investor!
Special thanks to Google’s Jamal Jessie, Manager, Community & Workforce Development, for making this support for MAX possible.
