Last week, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp announced that the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG) has launched an online Labor Exchange Platform, directly connecting job seekers and employers across the state.
The online platform is a first of its kind state resource and is a major part of WorkSource Georgia. The new tool will help Georgia maintain its position at the “forefront of career advancement and skill development, providing access to job listings, educational and training resources, and career services as the state continues to benefit from historic job creation and economic development investment,” a press release from Kemp’s office said.
“Georgia continues to meet the needs of both employees and job creators as we welcome the incredible job growth we’ve seen over the past several years,” said Kemp. “This innovative platform will help match members of our skilled workforce with opportunities for success in every corner of the state.”
The platform will also serve as a resource for employers by simplifying job postings, facilitating connections with qualified candidates, and providing crucial labor market insights.
“As Georgia celebrates its tenth consecutive year as the nation’s top state for business, this online platform plays a crucial role in aligning our workforce development efforts with the pace of our economic growth,” said TCSG Commissioner Greg Dozier. “The Labor Exchange Platform is more than just a job site; it’s a bridge connecting Georgia’s talented workforce with the numerous opportunities arising in the state.”
According to a press release from Kemp’s office, the “22 colleges of the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG) are the state’s top resource for skilled workers. TCSG offers world-class training in more than 600 associate degree, diploma and certificate programs to students who are trained on state-of-the-art equipment by instructors who are experts in their fields. The system also houses Georgia’s Office of Adult Education, which promotes and provides adult literacy and education programs, including the GED® testing program, throughout the state.”
