Manufacturing Georgia is a free platform that connects Georgians to technician jobs, training, and career pathways with manufacturers across the state. It brings together 125+ actively hiring employers, a job board, skills courses, and career-pathway guidance in one place. Georgia's manufacturing sector employs 270,000+ people at an average wage of $65,000 — about 14% above the state median.

Manufacturing Georgia is led by the Georgia Association of Manufacturers (GAM) in partnership with Unmudl, and is powered by the Unmudl Skills-to-Jobs® Marketplace. GAM represents manufacturers across Georgia's 159 counties; Unmudl provides the technology that matches workers to technician roles and the training that gets them there.

Companies hiring technicians join Manufacturing Georgia by creating a free employer profile, then posting open technician roles to the job board. Employers can also connect with technical colleges and high schools in the network, sponsor training or apprenticeships, and take part in the Techs of Tomorrow™ Forum. More than 125 Georgia manufacturers — including Kia, Shaw Industries, Toyo Tires, Georgia-Pacific, and Amazon — already participate.

Companies use Manufacturing Georgia to build a reliable technician pipeline: posting jobs, reaching candidates already training for maintenance, CNC, electrical, and assembly roles, and partnering with colleges to close specific skill gaps. Instead of competing for the same small pool of experienced technicians, employers use the platform to find and upskill local talent.

Anyone in Georgia can use Manufacturing Georgia — no manufacturing experience required. It's built for job seekers changing careers, high school and college students, and current production workers moving up into technician roles. Typical pathways include Production Operator → Maintenance Technician and Machine Operator → CNC Technician, with technician roles paying roughly $35,000 to $90,000.
