MAX Mondays is our weekly digest to help workforce developers stay abreast of the many happenings in the Atlanta region’s workforce development community. It is largely distributed every Monday with the exception of state and federal holidays (when it is delivered on the following Tuesday) and the last two weeks of December.
MAX Mondays provides a central place to learn about upcoming career fairs, information sessions, training events and other programs for the job seekers served by workforce developers. The weekly update also includes information on upcoming conferences, webinars, and other special events designed to help workforce developers and employers connect with each other and with helpful resources.
Launched in September 2016, MAX Mondays reaches over 2,600 workforce developers – representing service providers, educational entities, intermediaries, employers, and funders serving at the local, regional, state, or national levels.
