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:
The Academy at Goodwill 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 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.
The Goodwill Training and Education Center, also known as GTEC, is a newly renovated campus spanning 32,000 square feet in Northwest Arkansas. Situated in Springdale, GTEC is home to The Excel Center and The Academy, providing individuals in the region with the same excellent education and training options available in Little Rock.
