Skip Eberhardt can help people find a job. The problem is they’re not qualified to work.
The 62-year-old former Spencer J. McCallie Homes resident said he received more than 70 calls in less than a month, all from people looking for work, but none of the job seekers had a high school diploma.
To help, Eberhardt solicited help from five retired schoolteachers and professionals to start a GED program this week. Chattanooga College, in Eastgate Town Center, donated its space for the program.
Eberhardt is aiming his program at students who may be more interested in getting technical training instead of college after getting their GED certificate.
