The panel met at Chattahoochee Technical College to discuss workforce development, training and WIA funding in Georgia.
Collaboration was the theme of a panel discussion today centered on workforce development at Chattahoochee Technical College's North Metro Campus in Acworth. Despite Georgia’s unemployment rate of 9.7 percent, employers are looking for workers, and that’s where collaboration comes into play, moderator Ron Banta said. The question is how to get workers into the jobs. One thing the state is doing is to offer its Work Ready program just to those who are unemployed as a way for them to gain skills needed to move forward, said Tricia Pridemore, the executive director of the Governor's Office of Workforce Development. This year, 16,500 skilled jobs are expected to become available, Pridemore said. “This will be a good way to put Georgia back to …
