Goodwill's Career Center educational programs are designed to meet the needs and interests of a wide variety of students. Grade level and interest testing is administered before orientation and is followed by two weeks of basic career training. Here students learn about the customer service culture, employer expectations, potential career paths and personal effectiveness.

Following this basic course, students may enter Work Experience Training which can lead to specific skills training, or they receive another two weeks of Office Skills Training where they can improve skills in English, communication, spelling and math. Basic office machines and an introduction to computers and the Internet are also a part of this course.

Next students choose one of four educational tracks leading to employment in either the hospitality industry (HOST), business office careers (BEST), medical clerical careers (MOST) or the retails sales (REST) field. Each separate track has an additional five to ten week intensive educational component and an on-the-job internship.

Following training, graduates are assisted in resume writing and job search activities by Goodwill's Community Employment Specialists.
