The Monroe Wal-Mart Distribution Center, which celebrated its grand opening in July 2000, is unique because of its refrigerated space. It covers approximately 420,000 square feet, or about nine acres. Quick Start trained 353 people for this facility. Thanks to the pre-employment training program designed and delivered by Quick Start, turnover rate has been substantially reduced. The course is approximately 160 hours and qualifies for the HOPE Grant.
Warehousing simulations are an important part of the training.
Among clients served across Georgia with this type of training are Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Pep Boys, Lowe's Inc., and Best Buy.
