Mandie Underwood – GoodPaths Program Success Story
A Goodwill program that prepares promising employees for career advancement did even more for one recent participant — it inspired her to go to college.
Mandie Underwood always thought she wanted to be a nurse. But Mandie quit high school in her senior year. Though she earned a general equivalency diploma in 2009, she was never able to get her career goals on track.
