Read Abel's story:

When Abel graduated Goodwill’s Automotive program offered through The Academy, he shared: “I learned my worth, thanks to a team that gets just as excited about your success as you do, if not more.” After graduation, Abel partnered with Goodwill’s Career Navigators to interview with Gurley Leep Hyundai. He was hired on as an apprentice, and since then, Abel has been promoted to a Level 3 Certified Hyundai Technician and is on-track to becoming a Flat-Rate Tech this summer.

Every donation to Goodwill has the power to change a life by funding Goodwill's FREE programs like The Academy.
