Our Vision
The vision for the Fulton County Workforce Preparation and Employment System (FCWPES) is to assist Fulton County residents and metropolitan Atlanta area employers in developing and sustaining a world-class workforce that realizes viable incomes and benefits, thus strengthening their families and neighborhoods.
This will be achieved through the following goals:
WorkSource Location Moving:
The WorkSource Fulton office currently located 5710 Stonewall Tell Road is preparing for an upcoming move this spring to the South Fulton Service Center at 5600 Stonewall Tell Road, College Park, GA 30349.
The closing date for the South Fulton Career Center will be announced soon along with a planned reopening in the renovated space in the South Fulton Service Center, which will also include the relocation of the One Stop operation and partners from the North Fulton Career Center to the South Fulton Career Center.
WorkSource Fulton’s new location in the South Fulton Service Center will expand the size of the Employment Resource Room and improve the center’s ability to connect Fulton job seekers with job opportunities. The new space is expected to double the number of computer stations available to 24, increase the number of customers served, and reduce service times.

The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) requires that each service delivery area (there are 20 in Georgia) have at least one comprehensive or full-service One-Stop Center. A One-Stop Center is a place where Employers and Job Seekers can access a wide range of workforce services. In Georgia, there are over 45 "full-service" One-Stop Centers, and most areas have several other locations for customers to access workforce services also. A majority of the full-service locations are GDOL Career Centers, while others are separate facilities. Many different education, training, and employment-related services available in the community are also provided by various partner agencies at the One-Stop Center or through referrals.
The One-Stop system was designed to bring together many separate partners to seamlessly provide an array of services, from resume preparation to job search to placement to supportive services. Thru the One Stop we assist qualified students in training for demanded occupations by providing counseling, case management, and career and job search coaching to facilitate their completion of occupational credentials and their optimal employment after graduation. WIA pays training costs not covered by the HOPE Scholarship Program as well as provides funding for tools, uniforms, licensing exams, etc. Up to $5000.00 the first year and $3000.00 the second year for a total of $8000.00 may be available for training at designated schools in certain demand occupations.
While One-Stops offer many of the same services, there are differences among One-Stops services based on the needs of customers in the community. For example, while all One-Stops provide workforce resource areas with a variety of self-service options online or through books, videos, or pamphlets, a One-Stop Center may offer specialized services in specific areas.
At a One-Stop Center, every effort is made to make it as easy and convenient as possible for Employer and Job Seeker customers to get the customized services they need. Many customers will be able to get everything they need from a single location, during a single visit or multiple visits. Other customers may need services that are not available onsite. In these situations, One-Stop staff will facilitate necessary linkages and referrals.
The Fulton County One-Stop Career Centers are designed to assist Fulton County residents in obtaining and maintaining unsubsidized employment.
The Service Sites provide job seekers with access to a variety of tools to aid in their job search. Some of the resources available at the Service Sites include:
Intensive services are provided to laid off citizens (Dislocated Workers) and low income adults; additional services may be available, if you are in an approved activity which includes but not limited to Child Care Assistance, Transportation Assistance, Job Readiness Classes, and Job Search Assistance.

WIA allows for Automatic Designation of Service Delivery Areas (SDA’s) in Section 116 Article 2 which states: “The Governor shall approve any request for determination as a local area from any unit of general local government with a population of 500,000 or more.
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.
METRO SERVICE DELIVERY AREAS (SDA’s) FACTS
There are twenty (20) Service Delivery Areas in the state of Georgia. There are five (5) Metro Service Delivery Areas - Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC), City of Atlanta, Cobb County, DeKalb, and Fulton County.
NOTE: Fulton County strongly encourages customers to receive services in the county in which they reside. Our priority of funding is given to those who first live in Fulton County and/or has been laid off in Fulton County.
