ATLANTA – The State Board of the Technical College System of Georgia has approved a grant totaling more than $3 million to establish a new college and career academy in Walker County. Named Walker Launch, this project is the result of a partnership between Walker County Schools and Georgia Northwestern Technical College. It will serve Walker and Dade County students.
“To maintain our status as the No. 1 state for business, it’s crucial we support our valued and robust work force,” Gov. Brian Kemp said. “Walker Launch will help prepare students for new opportunities while connecting them with the jobs of tomorrow, and I appreciate all those who worked on bringing this project to fruition.”
