Goodwill of Central Arizona’s basic mission is to put people to work. They do this in a number of ways, including the training and skills people need to be successful in the workforce, funded by proceeds from purchases made at local Goodwill thrift stores. To that end, Goodwill of Central Arizona established a Customer Service and Computer Training Program .
Goodwill Computer and Customer Service Training is a one week course. Job seekers learn to identify their hidden skills and talents, as well as acquire new skills in preparation for finding their next job. Topics include:
- Personal brand
- Write resumes
- Job search and application
- Interviews
- Customer service
- Introduction to MS Word and MS Outlook
Course graduates work one-on-one with a Career Advisor after completion to obtain employment within 90 days. Interested individuals must complete an orientation and computer skills assessment prior to being accepted into the course. Once accepted, each person must attend a half-day workshop the week before class.
