RESOLUTION
Encouraging
the State Board of Technical and Adult Education to initiate programs in
ecological job training; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS,
unemployment and underemployment are serious concerns in this state, especially
in the rural areas; and
WHEREAS,
many men and women in this state acquire invaluable knowledge and skills merely
by growing up in an environment that values outdoor recreation and activities
such as hunting, fishing, hiking, and exploring; and
WHEREAS,
additionally, such persons are intimately familiar with historical sites and
natural wonders in their own neighborhoods; and
WHEREAS,
there is a tremendous opportunity to develop tourism which would boost the local
economies and allow young people to find employment without having to leave
home; and
WHEREAS,
the State Board of Technical and Adult Education is uniquely situated to provide
the necessary training to allow men and women to find jobs as hunting and
fishing guides, escorts on historical tours, and guides for adventure trips in
their locale.
NOW,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA that the members of
this body encourage the State Board of Technical and Adult Education to develop
courses and pilot programs designed to train men and women in the field of
ecological employment.
BE
IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Secretary of the Senate is authorized and directed
to transmit appropriate copies of this resolution to the commissioner of
technical and adult education and to the public and the press.
