When textile manufacturing ended and furniture manufacturing began to slow down in the 1990s, many workers in Martinsville-Henry County were without work.
Several had labored in those industries since their high school days, and some even earlier. For that reason, many of those now-displaced workers had never earned their high school diplomas, or their general education development certificates.
So the Martinsville-Henry County Chamber of Commerce has initiated a Business IQ program that allows member businesses to receive on-site G.E.D. test training for employees looking to attain the credential. More than 100 individuals have achieved G.E.D. certification through the program, and there are approximately 300 that have been or are currently enrolled.
