EDUCATION & TRAINING
The funds raised from our generous donors and shoppers, stay in Arkansas and fund these programs that change lives through education, training and employment:
Education and training are key components of our mission to change the lives of Arkansans and transform our state’s workforce. At Goodwill Training & Education Centers, we combine the services of The Excel Center® and The Academy under one roof – removing barriers and allowing students to earn high school diplomas and trade skill certifications with convenience, expert guidance and a supportive student community.
The Academy at Goodwill, located in Little Rock and Springdale, provides opportunities for non-traditional students to earn industry credentials and certifications that lead directly to employment in jobs that guarantee a living wage.
The Excel Center® at Goodwill, located in Little Rock and Springdale, is a tuition-free school for adults who want to earn a high school diploma with flexible class schedules, on-site childcare and life coaches.
