On Janurary 17, 2012 at the state capitol, Georgia Governor Nathan Deal  launched a program called "Go Build Georgia."   Among those on hand to help the Governor to launch this important initiative were students from across the state who are interested in careers in skilled trades.  This group included students from the Hall County School District high schools' construction classes.

Deal was joined at the Statehouse by political, union and business leaders, including Georgia Power CEO W. Paul Bowers. He said the utility company has need for 5,000 craft laborers, including some working to build a new nuclear power plant near Augusta. State officials estimate that more than 16,000 jobs will become available over the next year for skilled laborers.
