AWDA Veterans Services

The Atlanta Workforce Development Agency is committed to providing quality employment services to veterans at our One Stop Center. Veterans go to the front of the line and an onsite veteran's representative assists with employment needs.  To receive priority of service, please inform the receptionist of your military background.

ADWA's Veteran Services program provides specific job readiness services. To qualify for services you must meet the following criteria and register with AWDA.

• An individual who has served at least one day in active military, naval or air service, and was discharged under "other than dishonorable" conditions.  This includes full-time duty in the National Guard or a Reserve component, except full-time duty for training purposes.

Services provided to qualified veterans include:

• Face-to-face orientation of the One Stop Center and services provided.
• Direct referral to jobs (both established jobs and job development)
• Assistance looking for a job, developing a resume and preparing for an interview.
• Referral to other federal, state and local agencies.
• Information on veteran's rights and employment benefits.
• Assistance transitioning into civilian employment.
• Guidance finding vocational training. 
• Employment counseling. 
• Occupational skills assessment.

These services provide veterans with the necessary information they need to find and secure suitable employment and make the transition from the military to the civilian workforce. If you are a veteran and have questions about our services, please contact Ruth Alvarez-Moon at 404 546-3003.
