Students in rural Georgia are participating in the Advanced Manufacturing Pathways (AMP) program, an initiative from the Georgia Institute of Technology. Through this program, students design, build, and race custom cars while gaining practical manufacturing skills. The AMP program is supported by local educators and industry partners and aims to change how communities view their future workforce.
The Georgia Institute of Technology offers education focused on technology fields such as engineering and sciences, as well as business and liberal arts programs. The institution operates its main campus in Midtown Atlanta and maintains global partnerships to encourage innovation. More information about the university’s programs can be found on its official website.
Georgia Tech has a history of producing leaders in engineering and innovation, including military generals and Medal of Honor recipients. Its alumni network reflects the institution’s societal influence. The university generated a $5.8 billion economic impact for the state of Georgia, according to its official website.
With more than 55,000 students enrolled and over $1.4 billion managed annually in sponsored research, Georgia Tech continues to focus on developing leaders who advance technology and improve society. The AMP program represents one way the institute is extending its mission into rural areas through hands-on STEM education.
“Students in rural Georgia are discovering new possibilities through Georgia Tech’s new Advanced Manufacturing Pathways program, where they design, build, and race custom cars while learning real manufacturing skills. With local educators and industry partners behind it, AMP is reshaping how communities imagine their future workforce.”
