TOGETHER,
WE CAN MAKE A
DIFFERENCE.
Thanks to the support from our Goodwill family of retail stores, outlets, and Donation Xpress centers, our workforce development team was able to provide 22,722 life-changing services to our community in 2024. Those services consisted of 7,779 vocational training services, 1,883 work experience opportunities, and 13,060 advocacy and referral services, helping connect individuals to vital community resources we don't directly offer.
"What we offer goes beyond job training. It's a support system built to meet people where they are and help them move forward. We provide career guidance, skill development, work experience, and access to resources such as housing, legal support, transportation, and technology.
Through our Workforce Development programs, we focus on building practical skills that lead to job opportunities. The goal is not just employment, but stability, growth, and the confidence to start a new path."
