WorkSource Atlanta offers a myriad of programs and services designed to introduce job readiness and employable skills with a focus on increasing awareness of the types of attitudes, skills and behaviors needed for success in the workforce. Clients gain access to and participate in programs and training necessary to secure employment with a career path for self- sufficiency. Under Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) mandates, the State is subdivided into workforce development areas based on a set of parameters relating to poverty, unemployment, the employed and the labor market demand. Each local area must have a Board of Directors and have a physical location, or a One-Stop Center, where workforce development services are universally accessible. Additionally, each local area must partner with state, community colleges, public schools, community and faith based organizations in the delivery of workforce development services. The local Board designated WorkSource Atlanta to be its One-Stop Center operator, and WorkSource Atlanta is responsible for the management of the day-to-day workforce development activities.
