Local company Global Tank and Tower, LLC has been in Toccoa a little over a year now and they are already having an impact on our local economy and workforce. Last week they shared with us that through working with the Stephens County Development Authority and the Georgia Mountains Workforce Development office, they were able to help employee, Tim Ritenour, receive certification for Tower Climbing Safety and Rescue and In-House Instructor/Trainer.
Dan Thornton, Adult-DW Case Manager with the Georgia Mountains Workforce Development office said, “The Georgia Mountains Workforce Development office was excited to be able to assist Global Tank and Tower and Tim Ritenour in achieving this Certification for "Tower Climbing Safety and Rescue" and for "In-House Instructor/Trainer". Workforce Development was able to reimburse a large portion of the tuition cost for this certification training through the Incumbent Worker Training program grant.
