Cobb County has been certified as a Georgia Work Ready Community for having a skilled workforce and the educational infrastructure to drive economic growth.

The designation requires counties to demonstrate a commitment to improving public high school graduation rates through a measurable increase and drive residents who haven’t received a high school diploma to take the GED.

Cobb’s chamber helped in the effort by launching a bi-monthly workforce development forum for key county stakeholders and making education a key priority in 2011.
