Georgia Connect

Your future deserves a plan.

In HB 1302, the Governor and General Assembly directed the Governor's Office of Education and Workforce Strategy (GOEWS) to lead the Technical College System of Georgia, the University System of Georgia, the Georgia Student Finance Commission, the Department of Education, and the Department of Labor in building "Georgia Connect" a single online platform connecting every Georgian with a personalized plan for their academic and career future. The tool supports students, parents, counselors, educators, and job seekers as they navigate secondary, postsecondary, and workforce training opportunities across the state.

A direct connection between Georgia's talent and the employers who need it.

Georgia Connect brings together the skills and interests, postsecondary pathways, credential information, and personalized guidance so every Georgian can build a plan and make informed decisions about their future. The platform is being built in phases.

Phase One: Skills Wallet. A learner-owned, portable digital record of credentials, assessments, skills, resume content and other student accomplishments that create a fuller picture of what someone can do than a resume alone, built on a common statewide skills language for degrees, certificates, apprenticeships, and stackable credentials.

Phase Two: Skills-Based Hiring. Employers describe open roles by the skills they require, not open-ended postings matching talent to jobs more precisely, across industries, employers, institutions, and states.

Alongside these phases, enhancements to Georgia MATCH, will bring enhanced direct admission and automated credit transfer, cutting the administrative friction that costs students credit and time. Together, these tools are designed to strengthen labor force participation and lift wage outcomes statewide.
