AWDA now offers Beehive-Atlanta at its headquarters. Beehive is a multi-lingual Web portal that, among other things, provides career tools to economically-disadvantaged families. The integrated portal serves as a single online destination where individuals learn how to navigate Web technology and match their skills with jobs. Beehive also offers a career coach, updated job postings, and tips for starting a business.
AWDA has also partnered with BeehiveATL.org and Enterprise Community Partners, Inc. to utilize AWDA's Cyber Bus to tour low-income neighborhoods. The Cyber Bus is outfitted with state-of-the-art computers and wireless internet access. Residents can board the Cyber Bus and access online job announcements and post resumes. Residents can also E-file their taxes for free on the Cyber Bus using Beehive's tax-filing tool.
Beehive-Atlanta is a collaboration between One Economy, a nonprofit that brings technology into the homes of low-income families; Monster.com; and AWDA. All Atlanta residents can benefit from BeehiveATL.org services which allow individuals to fill out pre-applications to AWDA, post a resume to Monster.com, find childcare and Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) information and more.
