Expanding Georgia’s charging infrastructure is a critical step in the electric vehicle (EV) transition. 

That’s why Goodwill of North Georgia is launching a cleantech workforce training program. Workers will get paid to learn technical skills for jobs in EV charging.

Steve Preston, CEO of Goodwill Industries International, says the training program targets people who are either unemployed or in very low-wage jobs.
