Georgia has inaugurated the Hyundai Mobility Training Center, an 89,000-square-foot advanced facility designed to train workers for electric and hybrid vehicle manufacturing at Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America (HMGMA) in Bryan County. The center, operated by Georgia Quick Start, aims to support the development of a skilled workforce for the $7.6 billion project, which is expected to create 8,500 jobs by 2031.
Located adjacent to HMGMA, the new center can train up to 824 individuals simultaneously and features advanced simulation and technical labs that mirror production environments.

Training programs include automation, robotics, welding, painting, and high-voltage battery systems, with specialized zones such as the STEP Line (Safe Transition for Efficient Production), the IMPACT Line (Immersive Manufacturing Process and Conveyor Training), and a VR Experience Lab for safety simulations.
Georgia Quick Start, part of the Technical College System of Georgia, collaborated with HMGMA to ensure training reflects the plant’s real-world processes. The center’s design enables adaptation to future hybrid production needs, aligning with Hyundai’s recent plans to expand hybrid manufacturing capacity.
