Dugan said: “Our entire state is experiencing shortages of skilled labourers. Many were lost to other forms of employment during the great recession. But there is also a generation that has lived through a heavy emphasis on attending traditional four-year universities rather than learning a trade. In Georgia, we are working hard to reverse the trend”.
