Goodwill Industries of North Florida - Fundraising for the Goodwill Construction Training Program

For more than 80 years, we’ve built the Goodwill Industries of North Florida foundation on one core belief: everybody deserves access to opportunity.

With every person we place in a new career to every business we serve with workforce resources, we’re creating a stronger community. Because when you remove barriers to employment through job training and placement services, you’re giving more than a job — you’re giving independence.

Goodwill Construction Training Program:

Goodwill Industries of North Florida's Construction Training Program, in partnership with FSCJ and HBI, will fill a gap in current skilled trade educational offerings, providing industry-relevant courses and creating a pathway to sustainable employment and community enrichment. While retail and commercial construction is booming across Florida, numerous construction trades are experiencing a labor shortage, with positions for carpenters, plumbers, HVAC, electricians, welders and other related occupations going unfilled due to a lack of skilled workers. The construction training program addresses this need by providing expanded skilled trade educational opportunities in the heart of the Jacksonville communities where jobs are needed most.
