Ammonia Refrigeration Academy – Recent Gainesville High School graduates completed Lanier Technical College’s five week boot-camp style class program providing training for careers in the poultry industry. Prior to entering the program, these students were not planning on furthering their education. Following graduation ceremony, seven area employers in the poultry industry held direct interviews making employment offers to the graduates. While this was a team effort, the success of the students and program would not have been possible without the GEORGIA POULTRY FEDERATION, Lanier Technical College, Natalie Smith/Gainesville High School, Workforce Strategies Group, and Worksource Georgia Mountains.
