🚀 Exciting Update from the Clayton County Chamber of Commerce!🚀 We were thrilled to host Chris Clark, CEO of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce (@GeorgiaChamberofCommerce) as the keynote speaker at our recent @Truist Networking Series Luncheon. Chris shared invaluable insights into the New Georgia Economy, emphasizing the urgent need for communities across the state to focus on talent development, infrastructure investment, and innovative policies. By 2030, Georgia is projected to grow its population by 5.45% and add approximately 681,000 new jobs, with 66% of these requiring a post-secondary degree. This growth in employment highlights the critical need for strategic planning in workforce training and infrastructure to stay ahead of the curve. Chris’s presentation shed light on key workforce challenges and the importance of addressing soft skills gaps and work ethic in preparing for the future. A huge thank you to Chris Clark for his enlightening talk and to everyone who attended. Stay tuned for more updates from our TRUIST Networking Series, where we continue to explore key state and regional business issues.
