“I recommend Goodwill for three reasons. Financially, it’s free. Second, the credential on your resume stands out to employers. And third, the people who teach the classes at Goodwill are there to help you. If you have the willingness to learn and work hard, they are going to provide the resources and motivation to help you succeed.”
