CobbWorks celebrated the grand opening of the new Cobb WorkSource Center in Mableton, Wednesday, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and tour of the newly renovated building. With a $4 million investment, CobbWorks renovated the Old Mableton Fire Station I, transforming it into a second workforce development center in Cobb County.

The 10,000-square-foot facility will operate as a full-service workforce development center and co-working space, providing job seekers and businesses with a wealth of free resources and services. This includes access to a computer lab and Wi-Fi, job search assistance, professional development workshops, literacy services, employment placement, and funding support for skills training. These resources will be instrumental in helping individuals secure employment and advance in their careers.

The center's impact will not be limited to individuals. It will also play a vital role in revitalizing the business sector. The center will offer business coaching, incubation, a full-service business services team, and a full range of resources to help entrepreneurs and small businesses overcome obstacles and enhance their capabilities.
