Georgia Department of Labor's new Gainesville Career Center is now open
ATLANTA State Labor Commissioner Michael Thurmond said today that the Georgia Department of Labor's Gainesville Career Center has moved into its new location at 2756 Atlanta Highway in Gainesville.
"We're pleased to be able to provide under one roof a state-of-the-art facility for all of our employers, job seekers, and vocational rehabilitation customers," Commissioner Thurmond said. "This new career center will be one of the most accessible government facilities for people with disabilities in Georgia.
"Since the merger of the state Division of Rehabilitation Services with the Georgia Department of Labor in 2001, career center design, such as this new facility in Gainesville, has become an opportunity to lead by example in creating workplace environments that accommodate all workforce customers and staff," Commissioner Thurmond continued.
The new career center provides employment-related services for employers and job seekers, as well as user-friendly access to vocational rehabilitation customers at one site.
Employment-related services include: job listings, job search workshops, unemployment insurance, labor market information, and a resource library, along with computers, printers, and fax machines.
The new facility has a business center for employers, including a waiting area, two interview rooms, along with a copier and fax machine. Thirty-four computers are available for use by job seekers in a resource room. And a training room will accommodate as many as 125 job seekers in a theater-style setting.
The new career center provides accommodations for an unemployment insurance tax office, as well as representatives from the Georgia Mountains Workforce Investment Board (WIB), Hall County Department of Family and Children Services (DFACS), Job Corps, Disabled American Veterans, Lanier Technical College, and staff members who speak fluent Spanish to accommodate the community's large Hispanic population.
