Quick Start’s Kia Georgia Training Center set ‘Global Benchmark’ for automotive training
On March 25, 2008, the 70,000-square-foot Kia Georgia Training Center became the first building in the Kia complex to officially open for business. Flashbulbs on cameras from around the world popped as Gov. Sonny Perdue and Euisun Chung, president of Kia Motors Corporation, cut the ribbon on this international icon of training excellence.
In 2006, Kia Motors chose West Point, Georgia, as the home of its first North American automobile assembly facility. In 2008, the first “Open for Business” sign came out — at the Kia Georgia Training Center.
Designed with the future in mind, the Kia Georgia Training Center has the capacity to present the full scope of advanced manufacturing training, and the flexibility to adapt to Kia’s future training needs. This sophisticated facility is the result of a partnership between Kia and Georgia Quick Start designed to ensure that Kia’s team members are ready to perform at their best in one of the most highly developed advanced manufacturing facilities in the world.
