19 May A Successful Goodwill Week

Goodwill Week is an opportunity each year to focus on matching our clients and other individuals with jobs throughout Middle and West Tennessee. Whereas we hold 50+ job fairs each month, Goodwill Week is an intensified opportunity to connect individuals with new businesses and more jobs.

This year, our 26 Career Solutions centers hosted 78 events designed to engage people in their communities. There were a variety of events including job fairs that featured more than 200 employers, job readiness workshops and community resource fairs.

Nearly 1,900 people attended those events. Fifty-nine job seekers were hired on the spot, highlighting our mission of providing employment and training to people who have disabilities and others who have trouble finding and keeping jobs.

By selling the gently-used items that you donate, Goodwill funds job training, placement programs and special events such as Goodwill Week.

Thank you for your continued support!
