In the wake of persistently high levels of unemployment, Commissioner Mark Butler offers an updated version of Georgia Works (GW) focusing more intensely on stimulating job growth and hiring. GW allows qualified unemployment insurance recipients the opportunity to train with a potential employer for a maximum of 24 hours per week for up to eight weeks.

The Georgia Department of Labor (GDOL) provides a stipend and workers compensation coverage to participating job seekers. Employers pay nothing to these trainees. GW provides employers the opportunity to train and appraise candidates at no cost. There is no obligation to hire any given trainee, but there must be a current vacancy listed with the GDOL.
