A regional perspective for Georgia’s workforce development makes sense for several reasons. Georgia’s vast geography and large population, as well as the state’s diverse mixture of urban, suburban, and rural areas and multiple sectors, challenge the idea of a “one-size-fits-all” approach to workforce development for Georgia’s STEM economy. In short, what works for Atlanta may not necessarily be appropriate for Macon or Valdosta. Efforts to improve STEM education and workforce preparation ultimately benefit Georgia as a whole, but economic growth remains local. It remains incumbent for regions and their communities to become selfreliant, if interdependent economic engines for STEM that involve each region’s schools, colleges and universities, and industries.
