In response to economic impacts of COVID-19 on businesses and residents, WorkSource Cobb has launched a free virtual talent recruitment and training assistance program.
As the workforce development agency for Cobb County and an essential service, the agency aims to ensure a continuity of services for employers and residents, according to a news release.
Under the shelter-in-place order, the workforce service center will remain closed to walk-ins.
However, employers and residents are encouraged to call 770-528-4300, email information@CobbWorks.org or visit WorkSourceCobb.org for services.
All for free, customers can receive one-on-one resume editing from certified resume writers, job leads from local businesses, career coaching, information about funding for training as well as referrals for community resources.
Laid-off individuals are encouraged to apply for more intensive services, including education and training to increase employability skills.
Free training programs are provided by local educational institutions and paid for by WorkSource Cobb.
Those interested can go directly to WorkSourceCobb.org/training-assistance.
WorkSource Cobb is one of 19 workforce agencies across the state through the WorkSource Georgia system.
Their program is offered to Cobb residents through the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act.
