Looking for a smarter way to attract talent?

GACC South supports American, German, and international companies in the Southeastern U.S. in implementing customized apprenticeship programs based on the German model — combining classroom learning with practical, company-specific training.

 

📈 Why it works:
The German apprenticeship system produces highly skilled, job-ready professionals who drive innovation, enable growth, and strengthen employee retention in the long term.

We support high-impact programs like the Georgia Consortium for Advanced Technical Training (GA CATT) — an affiliate of the ICATT Apprenticeship Program — designed to attract the next generation of tech-savvy talent to manufacturing and high-demand industries. 

 

Certified by the German DIHK and recognized by the U.S. Department of Labor, these programs create stronger company ties and significantly higher retention rates.
