The Quick Start approach is organized, systematic, and businesslike. A team of Quick Start training specialists systematically analyzes each job classification through process observation and consultation with company personnel at the company's designated location. Quick Start's team is led by an experienced, certified training specialist. A written training plan is then developed. It includes training schedules, job classifications and required competencies, training requirements, training deliverables, and training personnel requirements.
All training is accomplished to meet the company's standards and schedules.
Appropriate training technologies are used and may include job aids, video production, training manuals, trainer guides, simulations, transparencies, multimedia-based training, and others as appropriate. Training evaluations are conducted during the training process and at the end of the project. The Economic Development Programs Divisions at Georgia's 33 technical institutes not only function as the principal project management and training liaison for Quick Start projects, but they also provide a wide range of customized training programs for Georgia's business and industry. Through these programs, the technical institutes served an additional 58,153 trainees during FY99. Through these cost-effective services, the technical institutes serve the needs of Georgia's companies and residents statewide.
