This is what we mean when we talk about pathways to the future.

These five young men have been putting in the work at @atltechcollege, earning credentials including CLA, forklift and OSHA 10 certifications through a special initiative co-created with neighborhood and community leaders. And these certificates are only the beginning. Their next step is earning their CDL permits. From there, they will enter an eight-week earn-as-you-learn program that will prepare them for opportunities in the lineworker profession, including the potential to one day work with @ga_power. College may be the right pathway for one student. The skilled trades may be right for another. Another young person may need credentials, hands-on experience or a connection to an employer to take that next step. Different young people. Different aspirations. Different pathways. One shared expectation: that every young person deserves the opportunity and support to build a future of their own.
