More than a year ago, GaMEP was awarded a grant to assess more than 100 machine shops across Georgia. After more than 50 assessments into the project they have discovered a few major themes surrounding machines shops and their needs. In response to this, they are putting on a series of 4 no-cost, one-hour webinars between June-September to assist machine shops across the country.
