Goodwill Training & Education Center Opens In the summer of 2023, we launched the Goodwill Training and Education Center (GTEC) in Springdale to serve adults in the Northwest Arkansas region looking to earn their high school diploma or obtain industry-leading credentials and certifications. The GTEC model includes The Excel Center and The Academy in one building which allows Goodwill to better serve the students and community. “This campus will further expand the delivery of our mission of changing lives through education, training and employment in Northwest Arkansas,” said GIA President and CEO Brian Marsh. “More than 320,000 Arkansans over the age of 19 lack a high school diploma and the workforce in our state needs skilled labor. GTEC will provide opportunities for individuals in this region to learn important skills to gain meaningful employment, all under one roof.” GIA’s strategic plan includes replicating the GTEC model around the state to unlock opportunities and better empower communities to thrive.
