Get Involved · Be Pro Be Proud

A Prosperous Region and State Depend on You.

Right now, Georgia’s workforce is facing a challenge. Many of the current skilled professionals are at or near retirement age. But our state’s workforce isn’t prepared to fill the positions our retiring workers are creating. Now is the time to act. This initiative, launched by the Cherokee Office of Economic Development, will change how Georgians think about the skilled professions. Together, we can inspire today’s youth and lead them, and our state, down the path to prosperity.

Be Pro Be Proud Georgia is PROUD to be headquartered in Cherokee County.

The Workforce Workshop

The best opportunity to reach those who will make up the skilled workforce of the future is to bring the opportunity to them. Our mobile unit, the Workforce Workshop, provides hands-on experience with skilled professions while showing the jobs in depth to a live audience.

The Workforce Workshop tour will feature a customized, interactive trailer loaded with information, skills challenges and more as it makes its way across Georgia visiting companies, schools, and community events.
