Who we are
Community Training Dev is a non-profit organization passionate about empowering individuals to pursue careers in skilled trades. As a trusted contractor of the Georgia Department of Labor, we are dedicated to connecting motivated learners with opportunities to grow, learn, and achieve through mentorship. Our mission is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves access to a path toward meaningful employment. By fostering connections between experienced trade professionals and those eager to start their careers, we aim to build stronger communities and help create a skilled workforce that benefits us all.
Reach Development is a training and employment organization. We train individuals in skill trades (ie Information Technology, Culinary) and we partner with other organizations to train in CNA, Carpentry, Electrical, Plumbing & Auto Mechanic. After twelve to fifteen weeks of classroom training, we partner with companies to perform On The Job Training for our students and out of the training, we hope the employer will hire the students full time.
