Georgia’s Quick Start & Louisiana’s FastStart: Two Models of Workforce Development Done Right

QuickStart is the state of Georgia’s workforce development training program. It started in 1967 as a program within the Georgia Department of Education, and it’s the oldest workforce development program of its kind in the U.S. In 1988 it was integrated into the newly created Technical College System of Georgia’s (TCSG). The program operates from the Office of Economic Development Program at TCSG. With 23 colleges, TCSG guarantees that Quick Start will have a presence all over the state.
