The HOPE职业补助金, formerly known as the Strategic Industries Workforce Development Grant, is available to HOPE Grant-qualified students who enroll in select majors specifically aligned with one of 12 industries in which there are more jobs available in Georgia than there are skilled workers to fill them. These industries were identified by Governor Nathan Deal and the General Assembly as strategically important to the state’s economic growth. 它们是：注册工程师助理、商用卡车驾驶、计算机编程、计算机技术、柴油设备技术、幼儿保育与教育、健康科学、工业维修、电影制作/布景设计、实用护理、精密制造、焊接与连接技术。 2016学年，技校学生获得这12个领域的证书或文凭的数量为16,514个，高于2013年的11,289个。

“We continuously seek ways to help our Georgia students attain a high-quality, affordable education that leads to a productive career,” said Gov. Deal. “This grant is an important piece in our tool kit of educational assets, and helps students prepare to enter those industries in the state that have the greatest workforce needs.”

“A Georgia student who qualifies for one of these grants pays absolutely no tuition, and in some cases the grants cover fees and equipment as well,” said Gretchen Corbin, Commissioner of the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG. “We believe the new name will help students understand that a rewarding career is the end goal of the grant.”
