From a professional tech worker who's been laid-off and needs a skill upgrade to a young high school drop-out searching for direction and a job, CobbWorks provides access to a system of employment and education services for the community. In an increasingly complex workforce and economy, people sometimes need guidance and assistance in managing their career development, particularly when challenged with unexpected events. CobbWorks provides workforce services that assist people in helping themselves and their families.
A qualified and educated labor force plays a critical role in the economic development and viability of our community. Businesses considering relocation or expansion must know an area has qualified workers to meet its business needs. CobbWorks helps ensure an adequate supply of skilled workers while supporting the recruitment needs of businesses.
CobbWorks works closely with its many partners in an effort to provide the best services to the community. Whether collaborating on projects or acting as a referral network, these partnerships ensure that Cobb County has the best workforce and economic development system.

Workforce development happens when opportunity meets partnership. Today, we celebrate the launch of Sweetwater Mission's Construction Ready onsite training cohort, as highlighted by WSB-TV Atlanta. By bringing training directly into the community, this partnership is helping individuals overcome barriers, gain valuable construction industry skills, earn credentials, and connect to employment opportunities. Together, Sweetwater Mission, Construction Ready, WorkSource Cobb, and community partners are building more than careers. We're building hope, economic mobility, and a stronger workforce for our region. Because when we invest in people, we invest in the future of our community. #CobbWorks #WorkSourceCobb #ConstructionReady #SweetwaterMission #BuildingCareers #WorkforceMatters #EconomicOpportunity #StrongerTogether #CobbChamber

🏆 AND THE WINNERS ARE… 🏆 A big congratulations to Mableton Improvement Coalition (MIC) — Elizabeth Akers, Troy Refuge, and Joel Cope for taking home the win at this year’s Are You Smarter Than a 10-Year-Old? They outwitted, outplayed, and outlasted the other five teams to claim the top spot! And trust us the competition was fierce. The evening was packed with laughs, friendly rivalry, quick thinking, and just the right amount of good-natured banter. Our host, Bradie Speller, kept the questions coming, the teams guessing, and the audience laughing and engaged from start to finish. But that’s the AYS way: the points may determine who takes home the trophy, but it’s the people, connections, community, and shared moments that make this event truly special. And we’re not finished celebrating just yet! The Spirit Award and Principal Award will be announced tomorrow! Stay tuned to see which teams will take home those honors. Because at AYS, there’s always room for one more victory lap! #CobbWorks #AYS2026 #CobbWorksAYS #AreYouSmarterThanA10YearOld #SmartyPantsAward #StrongerCobb #CobbCounty #CommunityImpact #WorkforceDevelopment #WorkforceCobb #ConnectingTalentWithOpportunity #BuildingStrongerCommunities #CreatingOpportunities
