Sen. Ossoff Strengthening Workforce Development Opportunities in Chattahoochee Valley

Columbus, Ga. - U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff is delivering resources to strengthen workforce development in the Chattahoochee Valley.

Today Sen. Ossoff announced he is delivering Federal funding to Columbus State University to help develop a curriculum for chips manufacturing as the region continues working to attract new economic investments in the booming chips manufacturing sector.

Sen. Ossoff brought Republicans and Democrats together to deliver $550,000 for the project through this year's bipartisan government funding package, working alongside Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock.

"I'm working relentlessly to expand economic opportunity in the Chattahoochee Valley. That's why I've appropriated funds to help Columbus State University develop a new curriculum for semiconductor chip manufacturing," Sen. Ossoff said. "I thank Columbus State University President Dr. Stuart Rayfield for bringing this proposal to my office and for her leadership in the community."

"We are grateful for the support as we continue to fine-tune our academic programs to be responsive to the local workforce needs that we see today, and that will shape our community tomorrow," said Columbus State University President Dr. Stuart Rayfield.
