A state senate study committee says establishing a statewide portal that employers could use to fill job openings is one way to grow the state’s workforce.
After holding six hearings across Georgia, the state Senate’s Expanding Georgia’s Workforce Study Committee approved the final report it will send to the full Senate to consider during the 2024 General Assembly session beginning in January.
The new statewide portal would be modeled after Indeed, a popular worldwide website used by both employers and job seekers looking to connect.
Other measures include improving the system state universities and technical colleges use to transfer credits between the two systems to ensure no credits are lost. Making it easier for people moving into Georgia to get business licenses.
Increase funding to reimburse tuition to students pursuing high-demand fields including nursing and welding. and open childcare centers for teachers across the state.
