Jobs Database Coming Soon! |
|
In partnership with Athens-Clarke County Economic Development, we have been working toward an Athens job database for workforce recruitment to address labor shortage issues which have been a challenge for many of our members this year. This project was made possible through generous community support from Georgia Power. We are in the final stages of preparation for the website launch, during which time we will partner with community organizations to ensure that job-seekers have the resources to connect with open positions in Athens. The job database scrubs online postings to compile them in one user-friendly interface. We welcome your feedback as we prepare to release this site! Email marissa@athensga.com with suggestions and comments.
