and Georgia Quick Start have been invalu-able resources in transforming the work-force for a specifically high-tech automotive product. Through three waves of hiring and more than 135,000 applications, Georgia Quick Start provided the support needed to train more than 3,000 team members. We continue to receive great support at all levels of the state government. Just recently, Governor Nathan Deal signed HB 259, the Georgia Business Act, which allows state agencies to purchase Kia products and bypass the time-consuming competitive bid-ding process.”

SCHOOL SPIRITWith its more than 80 colleges and universi-ties, including Georgia Tech, Emory, and the University of Georgia, the state is turning

out a highly educated workforce. Emory’s Goizueta Business School, named after the visionary leader Roberto C. Goizueta of Coca-Cola, has one of the best MBA pro-grams in the country.

“We’re a world-class business school, so our focus is making sure we’re meeting the needs of students and preparing them for wherever they may choose to go,” says dean Erika James. “We have good relationships with industry in this region to ensure that we’re preparing our students for the needs in this marketplace.

“The school attracts students from all over the country and world. The majority of our students pursue careers at various loca-tions. For example, we have a large amount of students from the Northeast, which is a hub in banking. But the increasing oppor-tunities in Atlanta are another reason why they’re attracted to our program.”

As a spinoff of the Competitiveness Initia-tive, the governor also launched the High Demand Career Initiative last year, tasking the university system and technical colleges to ask the private sector what workforce needs they’re going to have five to 10 years

down the line, and to close any gaps.

“We wanted to ask the question, ‘Are there jobs currently available in our state where we do not have enough qualified individuals to fill those jobs?’” says Gov. Deal. “We have identified some 11 areas where those situations exist, and we have created 100% tuition scholarship in our technical colleges for anyone who will pursue a degree in those 11 areas.”

Kia Sorento and Optima GDI (EX, SX & Limited and certain LX trims only) are assembled in the United States from U.S. and foreign parts. 2016 Sorento SX Limited prototype and 2015 Optima Limited shown with optional features. Some features may vary. Kia has been named as a top 100 brand in Interbrand’s Best Global Brands 2014 report.

Beginning in 2006 Kia made one of the biggest single foreign investments in the history of Georgia by establishing Kia Motors Manufacturing Georgia, a state-of-the-art production facility in West Point. Since then we have helped create over 15,000 jobs in West Point and the surrounding areas, and produced over 1.5 million vehicles, which can be seen on roads all across the US today. We owe so much of our success to the thousands of people who work closely with KMMG. The quality of our plant and its people are two important reasons why we were voted one of the Best Global Brands in 2014. We’re proud to call Georgia home and look forward to continuing our successful relationship together.

HOW DO YOU WOO ONE of the most iconic brands in the world to move to your state? You’ve got to cover your bases, with a pro-busi-ness government, an exceptional

quality of life, a highly skilled workforce, and world-class logistics. It doesn’t hurt to have outstanding universities, a supportive business community home to numerous FORTUNE 500 companies, geographic diver-sity, and great weather. And for the coup de grace, it really helps to have a phenomenal

culinary scene, and world-class museums. Combine the latter two, as the state economic development team did one evening last fall in its meeting with Mercedes-Benz, and you’ve got a reminder of just what Georgia offers.

The occasion was the visit of Mercedes-Benz USA CEO Steve Cannon a couple of months before the company was to decide on the new location of its North Ameri-can headquarters: Texas, North Carolina, or Georgia. The state’s global commerce team wanted to show off the culture and people of Atlanta, so instead of a dinner at a great Atlanta restaurant, they held a banquet in the soaring, five-story

atrium of perhaps the finest art museum in the Southeast—the Richard Meier-designed High Museum of Art. The three tables of 10 included some of the business community’s heaviest hitters, including the CEOs of Delta, UPS, and Georgia Power. As they dined on locally sourced surf and turf, the conversa-tion centered on what it’s like to live in the state, and the terrific support companies get at the state and local level.
