FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
STATE LABOR DEPARTMENT OPENS SECOND PART-TIME OFFICE IN COLQUITT
ATLANTA -- The Georgia Department of Labor has opened a second part-time office in Colquitt to provide a wide-range of services to job seekers and employers in the Miller County area.
The office, which is open on Wednesdays from 9 a.m. to noon, is located in the Miller County Department of Family and Children Services (DFACS) office at 69 Thompson Town Road.
Earlier this month, the department opened a part-time office in the Miller County Chamber of Commerce office on First Street. That office is also open on Wednesdays, from 1-3:30 p.m.
The offices are operated as a branch of the department's Bainbridge office, which is managed by Emory C. Virgil.
"We want to make our services more convenient and user-friendly to the people of Colquitt and Miller County," said Virgil, "and, in order to do this, we needed two offices. We're excited about being able to take our services to our customers, so that they won't have to drive to Bainbridge to receive assistance."
Joann Murphy of Donalsonville and Sylvia Washington of Bainbridge will staff the two offices.
The offices will provide information on job training, take unemployment insurance claims, offer workshops on how to find a job, provide job counseling and make job referrals to employers.
In addition to Miller, the Bainbridge office serves Decatur, Early and Seminole counties. Last year, the office served almost 5,500 people. Emory says the labor department has also opened parttime offices in Blakely and Donalsonville.
