Governor Brian Kemp signed House Bill 982 in May which requires Georgia employers to create a list of high-demand careers and update it annually. The High Demand Career Initiative has been established to address the immediate workforce needs in the state of Georgia.
The list offers a concise list of jobs and careers that are in the highest demand in the current employment market. These jobs range in salary and experience, but they are the areas that Georgia hiring managers need to fill now.
The Technical System of Georgia states the list “represents the occupations in each of Georgia’s key industries that are in demand, pay an above-average entry-level wage, and are considered strong options for pursuing a successful career in Georgia.”
Each link directs you to a summary of the position and application opportunities for each occupation.
