Earn a FREE Professional Education from Georgia Tech

Georgia Tech is launching a fast-track certification program to help promote increased participation from Atlanta’s minority youth in high-growth careers. Led by the Georgia Tech Supply Chain and Logistics Institute, the program is supported by a $350,000 grant from JPMorgan Chase & Co. toward the firm’s global New Skills at Work initiative that promotes workforce development to bridge the gap between the talent employers need and the qualifications of the local talent pipeline.

With the goal of attracting 16-24 year olds in Metro Atlanta* to careers in Logistics, the new program can help prepare participants to compete for jobs and successful careers in supply chain and logistics. 

As an Equal Education Opportunity Institution, applications from veterans, underrepresented minorities and women are strongly encouraged.

“The road to economic opportunity and prosperity begins with great preparation and we want to help our youth be ready to compete and secure jobs that will lead to a strong future,” said David Balos, market leader for JPMorgan Chase & Co. and head of commercial banking in the area.

Over the first two years of the program, 300 students will be invited to participate, with tuition costs covered through the grant. Students who complete each course will have the opportunity to train in one or more supply chain topics/courses with a goal of receiving an industry-recognized certification for the selected area(s).
