“We are so proud of Cameron and thrilled that her creativity is being recognized in such a positive way,” said Lorette M. Hoover, president of 永利博彩. “It’s so important to understand that manufacturing in today’s world is not like it was years ago. It requires specific job skills – that can be honed through technical education – and there are amazing opportunities. By marrying that message with the art contest, it allows for more young people to see a possible future in this growing industry.”

The Governor’s Awards Luncheon is the highlight of MAW, celebrated this year 4月il 15 through 19. Co-hosted by the Technical College System of Georgia and the Georgia Department of 经济发展, MAW brings attention to the tremendous contribution manufacturing makes on Georgia’s economic growth. According to Gov. Kemp, nearly 9,802 manufacturing facilities are located in Georgia, providing 406,602 jobs and generating more than $22.7 billion in wages for Georgia’s citizens. He noted manufacturing contributed more than $61 billion to the state’s economy last year. 今年是乔治亚州庆祝制造业感恩周的第25个年头。
