A new initiative launching first in Atlanta aims to make it easier for new moms to get back to the workforce. The Women’s Work Initiative (WWI), will connects leading local corporations with diverse and experienced women returning to the job.
The program was announced this week by the Mom Project and this is how it works:
Women’s Work Initiative helps mothers in Atlanta
The Atlanta Women’s Work Initiative (AWWI), a public-private venture, will connect 50 local women looking to return to work with some of the city’s leading employers. The first-of-its-kind program will also serve as a model for other cities as the effort rolls out nationally.
Atlanta companies that are looking to join the initiative include Georgia-Pacific, Invesco, AT&T Prepaid Portfolio and Voya Financial.
“The AWWI embodies the inclusive spirit of our vision for One Atlanta, a world-class city where no one is left behind,” said Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, referring to the recently-created Mayor’s Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion. “As a working mom myself, I am grateful for the great companies that understand the critical need for equity in employment, especially for those women who are re-entering the workplace. The Mom Project understands the value of the hardest job there is: raising our children.”

One of North Fulton’s top restaurants, Table And Main, is breaking out the fine silverware this weekend and inviting the community out to help it mark a major milestone. The Roswell restaurant is celebrating seven years of great food on Sunday, August 19, 2018.
There will be a backyard Low Country Boil, live music, drinks and more things cooked up by Chef Woody. Click here for Info/Tixor please visittableandmain.com.
1028 Canton St, Roswell, Ga. 30075

Aside from Table and Main, when it comes to restaurants, Atlanta is quickly gaining ground on some of the dining capitals around the United States.
Fast-casual is the dining trend du jour around metro Atlanta restaurants. The concept involves mixing the quick accessibility of fast food with the casual dining experience. Food in Atlanta is also adapting to the various tastes of the migrants that come here to live.
Patrons typically order off a menu board like they would at a burger joint, but the convenience of sitting down to leisurely enjoy their food has made the segment a popular one with the restaurant industry.
The craze hasn’t escaped metro Atlanta’s food and drink scene, which has seen a fast-caz explosion in recent years.
