When the MAX Provider Portal first launched in December 2014 with 400 workforce provider offices in our region, it served as our region’s first, comprehensive picture of the workforce ecosystem in the Atlanta region. Today, our portal includes links to more than 500 provider offices and remains our region’s most comprehensive picture of who is doing what, where, and for whom. The portal welcomed more than 20 new providers in 2020.
Here’s some observations about current providers in the portal based on what they share through their profiles:
- More than 130 providers are on Georgia’s Eligible Training Provider List for providing WIOA-funded services
