A RESOLUTION
Creating the House Study Committee on Technology Education;

WHEREAS, emerging technology has sparked Georgia's explosive economic growth for the last several years; and

WHEREAS, the rate of change in technology is so accelerated today that many skilled workers need additional training periodically to keep up with the latest advances; and
