Project Purpose - Signing Day

Project Purpose is a transformational workforce readiness program entering into its fourth year of impact. We're looking for our next cohort of students ready to take on the program!

This two-week bootcamp is designed for graduating high school seniors who want more after graduation day, but aren't quite sure which paths to pursue. Led by the Greater Dalton Chamber and the Dalton-Whitfield JDA, Project Purpose equips students with the confidence, skills, and real-world experience they need to step boldly into life after high school.

Through hands-on learning, professional development workshops, community tours, and personal mentorship, students gain real-world insight into career paths right here in Greater Dalton. 

On June 12th, 2026, Project Purpose students who have completed the program will be participating in a signing day, signifying their commitment to their new careers in Greater Dalton! Each student will choose their employer, sign the contract, and be ready to work a high-paying, full-time job only a few short weeks after graduation.

If you know a student who is searching for direction and ready to discover their potential, we encourage you to share Project Purpose with them. Encourage a student to apply, and help them step into their future with purpose.
