------------------------------------------------------------

The Columbus, Georgia area has been hit with rising unemployment rates due to COVID-19. But, Hiring Well, Doing Good (HWDG) is providing relief by bringing together community resources and technology to help un- and under-employed individuals achieve economic independence.

By forming partnerships with regional businesses and nonprofits, the initiative has been able to develop an online platform that differentiates itself from other job-seeking tools in three ways:
* Support: Individuals can easily search for local service providers who can help them overcome barriers to employment.
* Strengths: Job seekers can identify their strengths and opportunities for employment through a soft skills assessment, library of training programs, and a career pathway generator.
* Job opportunities: Job seekers can then connect with jobs relevant to their skill sets and personal preferences and geographic area.
