In Georgia, there are 12 State Service Delivery Regions and 20 local Workforce Investment Act (WIA) service delivery areas. In each of the 20 local areas there is a local Workforce Investment Board responsible for designing local One-Stop workforce systems that are employer-led, demand-driven, customer-friendly, and continuously improving. Each area has at least one comprehensive or full-service One-Stop Center providing a wide range of workforce services.

In Georgia, there are over 45 comprehensive WIA One-Stop Centers, with almost two-thirds of these being GDOL Career Centers. WIA requires the participation of certain partners in local one-stop systems, but many systems have expanded to include any and all organizations meeting workforce-related needs in the community.
