Current Initiatives
The Governor in partnership with the Georgia Chamber of Commerce has announced the Work Ready initiative.  This is a two-fold effort that includes a Georgia Work Ready Certificate whose outcomes are aligned with current and future jobs in Georgia and the Certified Work Ready Communities that is a framework for counties to validate their existing workforce.   The Certified Work Ready Communities is the essence of the E3 concept – education, economic development and employment.  It will require communities to validate their existing and available workforce and show a commitment to improving their high school graduation rates.  Success will take a team approach that includes the leadership of county and municipal government, technical colleges, local WIA areas, regional representatives from DCA and DEcD, and the local school boards coming together.
