Starting a new career is hard enough but beginning a new career in a new state is even tougher. When Shell Richardson left Brooklyn, New York for Charlotte, North Carolina, she found out that she was not prepared for the job market. The job she had left behind hadn’t require much computer use and so she found herself going from job to job, unhappy and unsuccessful. Realizing that it was not working out, she acknowledged her computer skills needed updating. She searched the yellow pages for job training, knowing the training would have to be free. That’s when she found an ad for Goodwill® . Within three weeks she was taking part in the hospitality training program and confident that it was the right fit. Goodwill’s® preparation included customer service training as well as preparing for interviews. Richardson graduated the program with three job offers and has been at her position for three and a half years. Today she and her husband are homeowners and look forward to a bright future. Car donation helps Goodwill® to continue to offer free job training to people like Richardson who find themselves starting over. When you donate a car to Goodwill® your vehicle donation makes it possible for people to get the skills they need to find a job that helps them build a brighter future.
What Edgar Helms set out to do more than a hundred years ago, creating an opportunity for the poor to obtain work, continues to be the mission of Goodwill® today. Goodwill® stores across the country offer employment opportunities for the very people they offer job training to. Beyond that, Goodwill’s® job training programs encompass numerous career fields and car donation ensures free job training to the disabled as well as disadvantaged community. If you find yourself with an unwanted car and can donate a car to charity, your auto donation helps someone get the training they need to compete in today’s job market. Goodwill® knows how important computer skills are and car donation helps Goodwill® provide the latest computer training. Computer training somewhere else may caught thousands of dollars, but with your car donation, Goodwill® can offer valuable training free to people like Shell Richardson who are starting over and looking for a better opportunity for their future.
