Hyundai Job Training
Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America (HMGMA) and Coastal Pines Technical College signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for a training partnership in July 2023.
This partnership with Hyundai will be an excellent opportunity for students to get a foot in the door in the Electric Vehicle sector. Those that complete the program will be preferred for employment interviews with HMGMA who are building an EV plant in Bryan County, Georgia.
