I am extremely dissatisfied with the Georgia Work$ Program. I received the letter introducing the program dated in early October on or around the last day of the month. When I called to reserve a place in orientation I was informed that I did not have enough benefits to be included. They then decided amongst the directors that I could indeed make the 30 mile one-way drive.I spent a further 3 hours waiting to and actually filling out the paperwork.
ReplyDeleteWhen I approached several businesses about Georgia Work$ there was a general apathy and unwillingness to even return my calls. And this is free work I'm offering.
I have recently requalified for benefits and notified the directors of my continued desire for placement.This was between the holidays and I was notified that my request would be forwarded to the Georgia Work$ director. This was of course on the 31st of December with no further communications.
A 100% waste of time.
GEN members, does anyone else have any feedback to share on the Georgia Works Program?
