History
The principal owners of Georgia Job TIPS, Inc. have over 15 years experience operating employment and training programs. Those programs have included training for At-Risk Youth, Adults, Dislocated and Incumbent Workers. Hundreds have benefited from participation in pre-employment workshops, On-the-Job Training (OJT), Incumbent Worker Training and direct placement into unsubsidized employment. Jobs have been acquired in areas ranging from clerical and computer-related to manufacturing, transportation and healthcare.
In 2001 TIPS was awarded a grant in excess of $1.3 million dollars by the U.S. Department of Labor to address skill shortages in the Columbus region. Collaborative efforts with Doctors Hospital and St. Francis Hospital resulted in 180 Incumbent Workers participating in specialized training to obtain advanced certifications and licenses. In addition a Nurse Reentry program was funded to assist former nurses in receiving the training necessary to practice in a hospital setting. Other partners that were part of this initaitive were Goldens Foundry, First Data, Synovus, Columbus 911 Department, Columbus and Phenix City Firefighters.
