Georgia Department of Economic Development’s Workforce Division was created in August 2006 to administer the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) funds and ultimately improve the quality of job training and marketability of Georgia’s workforce for the economic growth of the state. The website serves as a one-stop integrated employment and training service. Job hunters can get help in job preparation and exploring careers, labor market information and information about unemployment insurance. In 2012, the governor launched a statewide workforce initiative aimed at aiding Georgia’s veterans.
