Recovery

To provide assistance to Georgians impacted by the economic downturn, and especially the unemployed, funds from the federal government's American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) have been made available to drive workforce development throughout the state.

Georgia is leveraging Georgia Work Ready, the state's innovative workforce and economic development initiative, to better tackle these tough times and emerge with a stronger, growing economy.

Georgia Work Ready was launched by Governor Sonny Perdue in August 2006 in partnership with the Georgia Chamber of Commerce to improve the job training and marketability of Georgia's workforce and drive future economic growth for the state. It is the only initiative of its kind to be conducted through a partnership between a state government and state chamber of commerce, ensuring that companies can more reliably match the right people with the right jobs.
