CIS Workforce Development Programs Recognized

Crane Industry Services LLC (CIS) has been recognized by state and local organizations for its training and workforce development efforts. The Carroll County, Georgia, Chamber of Commerce named CIS its Small Business of the Month this fall. And, CIS was nominated for the 2018 Georgia Small Business Rock Star award, presented by the state of Georgia Department of Economic Development and in partnership with the Georgia Economic Developers Association.

“CIS is truly appreciative and honored to be recognized,” said Debbie Dickinson, CEO of Crane Industry Services. The organization’s innovation in training and its expansion in the local area with the opening of new facilities earlier this year, were factors in the recognition for both awards.

The Small Business of the Month award recognizes Carroll County’s exceptional small businesses. Presented within a particular business sector it is given to a Chamber member business that employs 50 or fewer people and excels in the areas of business excellence, community engagement, and entrepreneurial spirit. The award is presented monthly at the winner’s business establishment. CIS was chosen among chamber Industrial members.

The Georgia Small Business Rock Star Award identifies people doing exceptional work in their small business area. Because of CIS’ commitment to workforce development and the company’s rapid expansion of their business scope, the community nominated them for the statewide award. The award winner will be recognized in a ceremony next spring, when the award will be presented by the Commissioner of the Georgia Department of Economic Development.
