"Atlanta has wonderful opportunities, but we also consistently rank lowest when compared to the top 25 metro areas across the country in terms of economic mobility or the ability for people to change their lot in life to take care of themselves and their families." - John Helton. Last month, our President and CEO, John Helton, and our Director of Westside Works, Quasandria "Q" Turner, joined Cara Kneer on 11Alive’s Atlanta & Company to share how CareerRise is strengthening Metro Atlanta and beyond through equitable workforce initiatives! At Westside Works, we’re bridging the gap between job seekers and employers by connecting residents of English Avenue, Vine City, and the entire region with training in high-demand industries, career services, and essential resources. Together, we’re building a thriving, inclusive community where everyone has access to good jobs and lasting opportunities.
