Under the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998, the federal government established the WorkSource Atlanta Board, which was later reauthorized under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) of 2014.
The Board comprises representatives from business, economic development, housing, and urban development, senior community services, vocational rehabilitation, organized labor, and community-based organizations. Under federal law, the mayor of Atlanta appoints the board’s members, each of whom serves a two-year term.
