Goodwill Career Solutions. Changing Lives Through Education, Training & Employment.

WHAT IS CAREER SOLUTIONS?

Goodwill Industries of Middle Tennessee is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization whose mission is changing lives through education, training and employment. Career Solutions is the mission arm of Goodwill — helping thousands of Tennesseans each year to find meaningful work and build careers. Many Career Solutions clients are unemployed, underemployed or face some barrier to employment, such as a disability, a lack of a diploma or a history of incarceration. However, almost all of Goodwill’s numerous programs and services are available to the general public free-of-charge, thanks to the generosity of Goodwill’s shoppers and donors.
