Job openings now available on television in LaGrange
ATLANTA -- State Labor Commissioner Michael Thurmond said today that Georgia JobTV, a unique service that allows television viewers to search for jobs and further their careers from the convenience of their homes, is now available in LaGrange.
Georgia JobTV is seen over LGTV Channel 19, a service of the City of LaGrange. The station is seen on channel 19 on Charter Communications cable system. JobTV is broadcast daily from 12-1 a.m., 5:30-6 a.m., 6:30-7 a.m., 1-1:30 p.m., and 8-9 p.m.
"We're excited about partnering with the City of LaGrange to provide this valuable, state-of-the-art service to job seekers and employers," said Commissioner Thurmond. "It's a great example of how the Georgia Department of Labor is using technology to better serve Georgians. We're already serving LaGrange and the surrounding area through our LaGrange Career Center, and JobTV allows us to broaden our services."
"We are pleased to have JobTV on our government access channel," said LaGrange City Manager Tom Hall. "It provides valuable information to our community on employment opportunities and is a great service to local companies looking to hire people. We have had great feedback on the service since we put it on the air."
JobTV provides 160 currently available job openings in the private and public sectors listed with the Georgia Department of Labor. The job listings are updated each weekday. Each listing includes the job title, location, salary, education and experience requirements, and a job number. Job seekers should use the job number when visiting any of the state labor department's 53 career centers to obtain additional information, or to inquire about applying for the job. Labor department staff will refer all qualified applicants to the employers for their consideration.
In addition to current job listings, Georgia JobTV provides video reports about career development and services available to job seekers and employers, as well as useful career-related tips.
The residents of LaGrange and Troup County are served by the Georgia Department of Labor's LaGrange Career Center at 1002 Longley Place, which is managed by Gail Long. The operating hours are 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Job openings are also available on the labor department's Website at www.dol.state.ga.us.
