The renewed Navigator program — $55,000 from the city, matched by the county — has already placed 102 people in jobs and made 409 employer referrals this year.
Board of Commissioners — April 21, 2026
The city renewed its workforce coordinator ($35,000/year) and BG Works job website ($90,000/year) partnerships, which have placed over 5,000 people in jobs and reached 26,000+ students through the eighth-grade experience program.
Board of Commissioners — March 17, 2026
Partner agencies reported strong results: BG Works logged nearly 12,000 job applications and about 3,000 jobs filled last year, with 79% of website traffic from outside the community — a recruiting tool as the city grows.
