Chatt Tech to Help Infalfa Bring Jobs to Acworth

Chattahoochee Tech signed an agreement this week with Inalfa Roofing Systems and Quick Start to provide training that will bring hundreds of jobs to the company's Acworth location.

Inalfa is investing $17.1 million in a new manufacturing facility in Cherokee County and is expected to create 300 jobs. The company is working with Quick Start and Chattahoochee Technical College to train its new workforce.

“Georgia was recently named the No. 1 state in the nation for doing business,” said Jackie Rohosky, Technical College System of Georgia assistant commissioner for economic development programs and head of Quick Start. “New investment in the state by global manufacturers like Inalfa is one reason why.”

Quick Start’s training  will include job-specific process training in material handling, frame assembly and glass assembly. Core skills, leadership and quality training are also being provided. Chattahoochee Technical College, the third partner in the training agreement, will provide ongoing workforce support and services to Inalfa.

“We are pleased to welcome Inalfa to this community,” said Dr. Ron Newcomb, president of Chattahoochee Technical College, in a press release. “Partnerships with companies like Inalfa will continue our mission toward developing a strong and educated workforce. There is no bigger draw to a community than that.”
