Goodwill to Create Georgia Jobs

Goodwill Industries has purchased a failed shopping mall in Augusta, Georgia, to be converted into a Goodwill Career Campus. The move will create 500 jobs.

The Development Authority of Richmond County has approved a $22.5 million bond financing inducement resolution for the site.

The new facility will include a retail store, also used for training; a jobs office and a bookstore-plus-cafe.

Goodwill Industries International is one of the world’s largest nonprofit providers of education, training, and career services for people with disadvantages, such as welfare dependency, homelessness, and lack of education or work experience, as well as those with physical, mental and emotional disabilities.

Goodwill operates as a network of 184 independent organizations in the US, Canada and 14 other countries.

Testimonial of the Week

What I liked about the service is that it had such a comprehensive collection of jobs! I was using a number of sites previously and this took up so much time, but in joining EmploymentCrossing, I was able to stop going from site to site and was able to find everything I needed on EmploymentCrossing.

Only TravelingCrossing consolidates every job it can find in the domain and puts all of the job listings it locates in one place.

We have more jobs than any other job board.
We list jobs you will not find elsewhere that are hidden in small regional publications and employer websites
We collect jobs from more than 4,429,376 websites and post them on our site.
We are private, and therefore far fewer people are applying for the jobs on our site than are applying for those on public job boards.
