Supporting Job Seekers Together
Goodwill Industries of Central North Carolina, Inc.
Improve lives and enrich communities through the power of work.
In January 2023, we joined the Hub4Hope partnership network, and since then we have seen countless job seekers receive wrap-around services and find careers with local employers at Hub4Hope’s events.
That’s why we are excited to announce the launch of Turn Around Thursday as part of the Hub4Hope network!
Turn Around Thursday offers opportunities for job seekers to speak with top employers and connect with resources every month, as well as attend specialized workshops.
Encourage those you serve to join us on Thursday, August 8th from 4:30-7:30pm at Evangel Fellowship Church (2207 E. Cone Blvd, Greensboro NC) to connect with resources that address employment barriers, as well as speak with local businesses. You can download the flier here.
Plus, 5 More Upcoming Opportunities
1. Reentry Services
Our Careers On The Outside program offers an individualized, holistic approach to connect those with justice involvement to sustainable employment.
