Shaw Named College, Career Academy Partner of the Year

Georgia's Lieutenant Governor Casey Cagle named Shaw Industries Inc. (Dalton, Ga.) the 2013 College and Career Academy Business Partner of the Year at the 2013 Lt. Governor's Business and Education Summit.

"When it came time to select our first ever College and Career Academy Business Partner of the Year, Shaw Industries was an obvious choice," said Cagle in a statement. "Their commitment to and passion for improving the quality of education opportunities available to students in their local communities is a great testament to the values they live up to as a company."

Representatives from Shaw serve on the board of Northwest Georgia College and Career Academy and Gordon County College and Career Academy. Also, Brian Cooksey, Shaw's director of operations, training, and development, spearheaded the development of the Mechatronics curriculum and wrote the standards approved by the Department of Education for use across Georgia. Students in the Mechatronics program will have the opportunity to complete post-secondary work in industrial systems and take advantage of work-based learning opportunities at Shaw and other manufacturers.
