What is Georgia Works?
Georgia Works! is a departmental initiative designed to stimulate job growth in Georgia. Commissioner Thurmond developed this innovative project in response to Georgia's growing job loss.
The initiative allows laid-off workers who qualify for unemployment insurance (UI) benefits to simultaneously receive on-site workplace training, regular UI benefits, and a special training allowance of up to $240. Training is provided by employers for a limited period. Upon successful completion of training, trainees will receive certification of job skills acquired and consideration for employment. The opportunity to train through Georgia Works is limited to a maximum of 24 hours per week for up to eight weeks.
