What’s New at GCIC?

Georgia Career Information System (GCIS)
The GCIS program is the center’s primary initiative. For 30 years, the center has provided students and adults across the state with relevant and helpful information necessary for the career decision-making process. Working with educational and labor market professionals, GCIS contains self-assessment, exploration, and search strategies as well as a vast amount of occupational and educational information. In addition to career management tools for individuals, tools are available to assist administrators with analysis. The GCIS site is a password-protected website at www.gcic.peachnet.edu. Ask your counselor or administrator for the user name and password.

Eligible Provider List
The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) is a federally supported, nationwide project that promotes the enhancement of each state’s world-class workforce. Working in partnership with the Georgia Department of Labor, the GCIC develops and maintains an open website containing information about eligible training providers and supporting programs of study. Eligible training providers include approved two- and four-year public and private colleges, technical colleges, apprenticeship programs, and proprietary schools. Georgia Department of Labor administrators utilize the site to match clients with appropriate schools and educational opportunities. The Georgia Eligible Provider List is an open website at www.gcic.edu/gawia.

Georgia Career Resource Network (GeorgiaCRN)
The Georgia Career Resource Network (GeorgiaCRN), a collaborative effort with the Georgia Department of Education, promotes improved career and educational decision-making by individuals, especially in the areas of career information delivery. GCIC and GeorgiaCRN activities include disseminating occupation and educational information, and providing instructors and counselors with the resources, tools, and materials they need to assist students in the career planning process of their educational experience.

Occupational Supply Demand System (OSDS)
The National Supply Demand Consortium, centered at GCIC and funded by the U. S. Department of Labor, Employment, and Training Administration, has developed a web site for occupational supply and demand analysis. The Occupational Supply Demand System (OSDS) combines state-level occupational characteristics, projections, wage trends, and industry employment (demand) with postsecondary graduation data (supply) for analysis of labor markets and training options. OSDS helps program planners and workforce administrators determine what education and training programs they might offer based on the labor market supply/demand mix. The OSDS provides a methodology using Units of Analysis, Occupations, Programs of Study, Federal Career Clusters, and Georgia Program Concentrations to find related supply and demand data. The OSDS is an open website at www.occsupplydemand.org.

Technical College School Sort
This school sort was developed to help students and adult learners explore 2-year public schools that are part of the Technical College System of Georgia. Using school, program of study, and state demographic data students can determine “best-fit” options before applying. The Technical College School Sort is an open website at www.gcic.edu/dtaesort.
