At Goodwill, we sell gently used merchandise and use the proceeds to help people in our community launch new careers. When you support Goodwill, you're helping create a brighter future for all.
Goodwill's Trade School offers opportunities for up to 100 peope a year learn basic trade skills, and then wait 4-5 months for additional training to be career-readied. So glad Home Depot is able to help those that Goodwill is unable to assist. Why do you all advertise as a GED and IT technology on community resource sites if y'all don't offer them? I don't need to go to Wilkinson Boulevard to learn to go to CPCC for help.
You have a giant building on Wilkerson that is mostly empty. Just admit what services you can provide (some trade school applicants will get accepted, others are offered jobs as clothes sorters at Goodwill).
I think a reorganization of senior management is necessary. In a situation where staff, services, and programs are cut, why donate to Goodwill? There are so many other non-profits that actively try to create workforce development programs, why should I donate to the cause of keeping lights on at an organization that does nothing? If IT classes cost $70g each (per Corolla at Gastonia), and you can't place graduates, why run the program for multiple years?
