Alamo, GA. – Twenty-five inmates recently graduated from a new vocational welding program at Wheeler Correctional Facility with the inmate's family and loved ones in attendance. Wheeler and Coffee Correctional Facility opened the training programs in January 2017. The new centers house vocational training programs in the high demand fields of welding and diesel maintenance, offered in partnership with the Georgia Department of Correction, Oconee Fall Line Technical College, and Wiregrass Technical College. "Both of these programs are strategic industries in Georgia, they've been labeled that by the Governor," said Erica Harden, vice president of Academic and Student Affairs, Oconee Fall Line Technical College. "This means that there are big needs for these skilled workers in both welding and diesel technology in our state." Once completed, each program culminates in an industry-recognized certification that will go with the graduate when they leave prison, and assist him in securing good, steady employment. Read More. |
